Hi support@mapfactor.com
You've removed support for Navigator on Android Tablet Samsung SM-T330 Galaxy Tab4 Android 5.1.1 , Kernel 3.4.0 (After a factory reset of device & reinstall, no longer listed by Google Play Store, but did previously run).
If you want a beta tester let me know <...@berklix.com> ( I'm a C programmer. )
Navigator still runs on tablet
Lenovo A5500-H, Android version 4.4.2, Kernel version 3.4.67
(but maybe would also not be available after a factory reset & re-install ? )
Ads for TomTom Maps
[JHS:] OK, Notices when newer maps available. If WLAN drops, reload start from beginning of next map in collection (so its better to have a collection of small county maps, than a few big country maps).

Yes Yes   Yes No ** Yes No Yes /sdcard /navit Need to load map & retest     Yes   ? 702 Vector (from OSM) Graphic     Simple map loader, 1 at a time, can't pre select a lot. Can't see what's already loaded.

[JS]: ** Map loading stops when lid closes. I cant find a generic Android setting to change; As screen doesn't time out (& does for other apps), I suspect the lid interaction is specific to Mapdroyd.
