Thread: Online services stopped working for NG Israel/Gift [SOLVED]

You assume bad
Search the forum for how to adjust the DPI and BASE_DPI parameters
has been discussed several times

Thanks a lot, Boki!
This was kind a "quick fix" and widgets are quite bigger now!
dpi = 640
base_dpi = 320

I have been experimenting with dpi and base_dpi parameters (without fully understanding the difference between the two) and I have noticed some combinations do not work - they were ignored and the result was the same as with dpi="auto" settings.

Anyway, the problem with this approach is that everything becomes bigger, so when I go to e.g. Menu, I can see fewer items listed.
I was hoping I could make those widgets bigger only (also, to understand how this works so that I could make some other modifications).
It is not that I'm a picky user, but I was setting this up for my 70 yrs old uncle who still drives a truck so I wanted to make things bigger while in driving mode.
When selecting destination etc. he would have his reading glasses on!

However, I guess I'll do some more reading and maybe I'll succeed to find the right ballance with dpi and base_dpi parameters!
Thanks again!

I have better suggestion
The device has a max resolution of FHD, but it can scale. Set in android settings to HD (1280x720).
I'm not sure if on that Samsung can be set separately by application, but it should.

This is because they go beyond defined ranges.

Thank you very much, Boki_Srb.
My uncle was happy with increased widgets' size so we can call it done!

Since I'm quite new to this field, I was experimenting with different iGO versions/skins and few days ago I found some strange problem.

What is happening on my side is that I'm getting different results for address points (house numbers) in two different iGO applications installed on the same device that are using the same maps (2020.Q2)!
Both apps (iGO Israel 9.18.27.687519, and iGO Basar 9.18.27.736574) are installed in internal memory and both read maps from the same folder on SD card.

I have this line in both sys.txt files.
content="/storage/0000-0001/HERE_Maps/content"

There are no maps in internal memory on in some other folder on SD card so I'm 100% sure both apps read the same maps.

When I select the same Country/City/Street in both apps, I get different result in available house numbers.
E.g.
1) Basar - Serbia/Kula, Crvenka/Marsala Tita: Enter house number (1-243) or Crossing Street
2) Israel - Serbia/Kula, Crvenka/Marsala Tita: Enter house number (4-238) or Crossing Street
So, few houses are missing in Israel.

I have found numerous similar examples.
There are cases where Israel doesn't offer any house numbers while Basar does.

1) Basar - Serbia/Subotica, Palic/Trg Andje Rankovic: Enter house number (1-9) or Crossing Street
2) Israel - Serbia/Subotica, Palic/Trg Andje Rankovic: Enter house number (n/a) or Crossing Street

When comparing these results with wego.here.com, I see that Basar displays proper values.

In About->Content->Address Points Israel displays entire list of FPA files in red color with "Inactive Content" prefix.

Spoiler: large image

In Basar app, FPA files are being listed without that prefix.

Is this expected or known issue?
Is there any workaround to get correct house numbers in Israel (if we need this version for trucking)?

Thanks!

Basar don't have trucks support, use PAL.

You need proper lyc file for inactive content (not yet published). Patience, and again - use PAL

@ larybogdan
Same here.
It calculates a route and leads me to a completely closed highway although the blocked road is on the trafficevents list.
Strange is when I drive a route I get a warning if there is a delay ahead , an accident or something, a notification
pops up > a better route is found, do you want to see it ? > Yes or No > accept it or not.
Looks like it does not look at traffic when calculating the first time, only when driving a calculated route ?

Edit.

If I remember well, during that blocked road in my region , it calculates to that road but gave a warning to look
for an alternativ route, a screen popped up searching for an alternativ but ends in No alternativ found for this route.
While there are many alternativ routes in the list.
All this before pressing the button navigation as far as I remember.
