-If your smartphone/tablet supports USB OTG, this is possible. You need to get a USB OTG adapter. These are available for a few bucks at different electronic retailers. They should be cheaper than $5. Connect the adapter to the USB port of your mobile device and to your navigation device. You should be able to see your satnav in a file explorer on your smartphone or tabletGo to Google Play and search for file explorer if you don't have one installed, they come in pretty handy at different occasions. Copy a exported route file to your satnav as you would do from your computer. We tested this with a Garmin Zumo 550 and a TomTom Rider 400. You can even set up the app to automatically export files to your device. In the Kurviger App settings ''Route'' -> ''Route export folder'', change the folder to your device.+Some navis like the TomTom Rider can receive routes via Bluetooth (see the TomTom Export for more details). If your satnav uses a microSD card, it might be possible to insert the sd card into your smartphone, transfer the route onto the microSD card and put it back into the satnav. In addition, you can use USB OTG. Not every smartphone supports USB OTG, please check if yours does. You need a USB OTG adapter (should be reasonably cheap at most electronic stores). Connect the adapter to the USB port of your mobile device and to your navigation device. You should be able to see your navigation device in a file explorer on your mobile device (e.g. ES File Explorer). Copy a downloaded route file to your navigation device as you would do from your computer. We tested this with a Zumo 550 and a TT Rider 400. You can also change the default export folder in the Kurviger app.
