In our previous post we summed up the 6 main reasons for using Navigator.

However, Navigator offers many other interesting features which make it a popular and highly rated gps navigation app. Lets have a look at some of them.

1. Choose and/or adjust your vehicle profile

Vehicle Profile setting

The Car profile is the default vehicle profile in Navigator.

But you can choose other profiles too, like Bicycle, Bus, Pedestrian and Truck.

All pre-defined profiles can be customised or used as a template to create your own vehicle profile.

2. Truck navigation

Navigator offers truck gps navigation using TomTom maps with logistics information about road restrictions for large vehicles.

Navigator Truck helps you to avoid narrow lanes, low bridges, weight and hazzard limits and many more restrictions.

Navigator Truck is available for more than 30 countries in Europe and Northern America.

3. Waypoints

Waypoints for your route

Waypoints are another very useful feature.

You can add as many waypoints to your route as you wish and let Navigator organise them in the most optimal order, saving you time and fuel.

4. Points of interest along your route

Tired, hungry, need to do some shopping or refuel your car? You can find the nearest points of interest in the map and along your route.

Navigator shows you the nearest points of interest

Great navigation aid. Good tool for when you don’t know the area, includes foot paths as well as places of interest. My main walking companion.“ (user review)

5. Favourites

If you often navigate to the same destination, you can add it to a list of Favourites for faster future use.

6. Customise the colour scheme

Countries often use different colour schemes for maps. While there are already many predefined schemes in Navigator you can always create your own if none of them suit your needs.

“MapFactor Navigator: Best I’ve tried so far: thoughtfully and intelligently designed with good colouring and delineation between route and surroundings, not too cluttered (as some are), excellent at-a-glance compass system to easily tell what direction you’re travelling, very clear spoken instructions with very ample advance notification of upcoming turnings — and exceptionally comprehensive configuration options. Almost perfect.” (user review)
