Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for your response, Bernd. Will the update be available for all your product versions (xServer1, xServer2 and Developer)?

Hi Berndt,

From 01-01-2026 there was a toll increase in Hungary. Could you give us some info about when this will be updated? Also, the second part of the toll increase is due from 01-03-2026. Do you have any foreseeable timetable for this next update?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Bernd,


We've found out that we are ALWAYS using the PTV map with the timeConsideration turned on regardless we need it or not.
So if we turn that of than the raster tiles will have a 1 day cache period, which can highly lower the network usage of the map drawing.

Thank you for the help,
Peter

Dear Bernd,

Right now, we are using xServer2 in our App to show the drivers the previously computed route.
We're working on the shifting to Developer, where we plan to use Vector maps to lower the bandwith/data needed to draw the maps for the drivers (most of them are still using 1 GB limited ...

The example route is from
HU 2510 Dorog
->
HU 2518 Leányvár

In xS1, if we enabled the violations, we get a very short, 6 km route.

However under xS2, we also enabled the violations, yet we get a very long route, around 125 km.

I've attached some pictures from both of the routes and also attached ...

Hello,

We are currently in the process of migrating from xServer 1 to xServer 2. We have a problem with the tolls, we can never get a toll back in the response for Hungary. We have not found any other country with this issue. I have attached two examples with requests and responses. Can you help us ...

Hello,

In xServer 1, the default cost for violated segments was 50000, but it could be changed. (https://svc-eu-n.cloud.ptvgroup.com/manual/Content/Profile-Documentation/xserverbundle/Routing_xsd.html#Routing_Routing_Course_Routing_Routing_Course_Violations_SegmentBlockingViolations)
In xServer 2 ...

Hello,
For the restrictions displayed in the PTV_TrafficIncidents layer, we would like to show details about the event when clicking on the icon of the event, in text (for example, closed lane or roadworks). We would like to use the category of the displayed icon for this.

Hello Bernd,

Our partners have indicated that in the UK, the HGV levy that was suspended during COVID has been reintroduced from August 2023, in a somewhat revised form. My question would be, is there an option to use data related to this under xServer1? I did not find any information pointing to ...

Hello Bernd,

I have a quick question regarding the consideration of road blocks in routing.

We've implemented a feature that takes into account temporary restrictions (e.g., construction) during routing. We're also interested in adding a feature that considers the dates and times of specific ...

Dear Sebastian,

We attempted to implement the REROUTEATTRACTIONFACTOR parameter into the .BCR file, but encountered a new problem we cannot resolve.
When we load the .BCR into the Navigator, the app fails to generate a route from the driver's position.
In our example, this position corresponds to ...

Hello Bernd,

Thank you for your answer!
Last question: do you have this on your roadmap? Will there be a solution for this one in the future?

Thank you,
Peter

Hi Dear Bernd,

Does the engine, or the map data knows how to handle segments, which are only granted If the company orders and pays an extra license?

There are some road segments, which are restricted to 7,5T+ trucks, however if you buy an extra license for a minimal fee, than you can use these ...

Hi Bernd,

That looks great! It's the same problem, and so it also work in Developer.
https://developer.myptv.com/en/documentation/routing-api/routing-api-reference#operation/calculateRoute

As I can see, It's much easier in Developer then, only need to switch the trafficMode option to Realistic ...

Hi Dear Bernd,

We've started testing the solution you've suggested, and it passed the first tests!

We've decided to integrate this feature, as disabled by default.

I don't want to take more of your precious time right now. If we experience some malfunctions in the live tests, I'll get back to you ...

Hi Bernd,

I've came with an example. Maybe this could bring us closer to the solution.

DE 09 Chemnitz
->
DE 09569 Oederan.

1. Map&Guide Internet:
As you can see, there is an ongoing road work, between Flöha and Falkenau.
MGI knows this one, so it skips that segment and gives a longer, but ...

Hello Bernd,

I've discussed with our dealer partner, and this one is quite urgent.

Is there any other way to somehow include the permanent road block in xServer1 routing?

The PTV Developer answer is also important, as that could be a solution later this year.

Thank you,
Peter

Hi Bernd,

Sorry, I've missed this feedback.

As we plan to switch to Developer in the future: is it easier to implement this one in Developer?

Thank you,
Peter

Hi Bernd,

Quick question about MGI & xServer1 comparsion.

One of our client is missing the possibilities in our solution for considering road blocks when routing.

In MGI there are 3 settings for this one, shown in the attached picture:
- Include all traffic disruptions
- Include all blocks
- Only ...
