Can the app be used without internet / SIM card? What's the expected data usage?

Kurviger Pro can be used without internet or SIM card, but there are some limitations.

View the map:Yes
If you downloaded the appropriate offline maps.

Navigate/Follow the route:Yes
Kurviger is very resilient when leaving and entering the route again. We also provide helpful tools to get back en route.

Import a route:Depends
The Kurviger app can import .kurviger files without internet and allows full featured navigation on that route. For other route files like .gpx, the Kurviger app can show the overlay without internet, but if you want to fully navigate along the route you will need an internet connection.

Calculate a route:No
Calculating a route requires an internet connection. You can find more information on this here.

Hillshading:No
Hillshading requires an internet connection and is not included in the offline maps. Compared to the routing, hillshading requires quite a bit of data, so if you have a small or expensive data plan, we highly recommend to disable hillshading.

This depends on the length route and the area of the route. To give you a rough estimate, with 1MB, you can calculate more than 100 routes, each 100km long. So the data usage is only minimal. During the navigation no data is required for the routing.
