Navigasi Indonesia map text size is too small

Wolfgang Schweitzer shared this question 8 years ago

I want to go to Indonesia and downloaded the free Navigasi map. This worked but the texts shown on the map are just too small, some are less than 1 millimeter. My phone is a Samsung Note 3, it has Android 4.4 and a 5.7 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.


I already increased text size in Karte - Objekte und Darstellung (map - objects and rendition?) to 300%, and in Karte - Erweitert (map - advanced) I activated Karte vergrößern (magnify map) and set the text size to 500%, but it didn't help - for the Navigasi map. My home map, topo Bavaria, is now shown with huge fonts.


Is there any other setting that would help here?


Is the Navigasi map a pixel or a vector map? Where would I see this?


Would the other map for Indonesia, the offline vector map, behave any different?


Also, I noticed several totally or rather blank areas in the Navigasi Indonesia, for instance the island of Saparua. Is the Indonesia offline map based on the same data, or does it have additional content?


Thank you in advance, Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang,

small text is really caused by HD resolution. Navigasi map is raster/pixel and there is another settings you can use:

- please revert your previous steps

- open Menu > Settings > Map advanced > Change map resolution (enable it)

- row bellow is "Set resolution" > tap on it and set the resolution to 2.00x


Text size you have changed influence only vector maps. This is probably the reason of your huge fonts in any vector map.

About the blank places - if you download any custom area of navigasi maps then the offline map contains the same data as online map. I would also suggest to download vector maps for indonesia via Store > Asia > Indonesia

Thanks for your quick answer, Petr.

I had already activated this before, but since I just installed the latest version of Locus I tried again and saw that it is now possible to change this to 4.00x. With this setting it is okay.

I'm sorry that I didn't look for the new version before I tried and wrote my question yesterday, and hope you don't mind:-)

Do you know if the Indonesia vector map in your store contain more detail than the Navigasi map?

Well difficult to say. Navigasi map are created by Local company but vector maps are from OSM data. For this reason can be Navigasi maps more detailed in some areas but on the other side the vector maps can be more up to date. Well first three vector maps can be loaded for free from Locus store - you can download the map and check it :)
