Thread: Mediatek Igo Primo routing error

Thank you for your reply, I'm very grateful for the help provided on this forum, however I have asked a question about what the FPA file actually does and if it can be checked for errors (which I would happily try if it is possible) and whilst the document you refer too does say it is point addressing, that is not an answer that is merely a description, so perhaps I am not the only one who is lazy I have not asked the same question, you just havent read it properly However for anyone who is having a similar problem please see below for a bit more info...

Generally, your device uses point addressing (door-to-door navigation) to ensure greater accuracy. In some cases, though, your device may be using logical addressing.

Logical Addressing

For example, if a stretch of road is known to contain house numbers from 100-199, the placement of addresses along that road is interpolated. This means that 150 would be placed in the middle of the stretch of road, even though it may be located some distance from the centre since addresses are not always spaced evenly.

Point addressing

Premium map feature where addresses are given a precise location, which provides a much greater arrival accuracy.

I have tried the FPA files from the links supplied, so will now look for different ones to try... so if anyone has an FPA file from a working French map, compataible with Igo Primo, that they have used in France without a problem, please can you share? In the meantime I will carry on looking and updating for those who might be having a similar problem
