Map errors in navdroyd’s map but not on the OSM map - how to fix?

0

good day,i am using navdroyd, i have found several errors on the Trinidad and Tobago map, strange enough, these errors are not present on your openstreet map, which is good,thank you for your detail infomation, i have been trying emailing the errors to the navdroyd company to no avail, is there any other way to fix the problem i have by downloading your maps??? apparently the navdroyd mapping system has numerous problems.

Have the navdroyd people responded to you in any way, or have they simply not responded at all?

Maybe you need to update the map on your device.

Maybe the details got fixed just recently and Navdroyd did not update the data yet. You could look when a detail was last changed in the OSM data with the data browser (if you have problems, please describe which detail you mean and paste a permalink of http://www.openstreetmap.org in a comment here and someone will tell you).

Maybe the Navdroyd map is created differently ("rendered") than the standard map on osm.org - it may interpret our data differently or may not show some kinds of data at all. This ''may'' be caused by (partly) incorrect/uncommonly tagged OSM data. Again: show us a example "error" location and "error" description and we can have a look and ''may'' fix our data (side note: we will not change the data if the only reason would be to let it appear on the Navdroyd map).

I don't know if you can insert external maps into Navdroyd - but, as alternative, you could use another Anrdoid app which uses OSM data.
