+Planning a route is very simple. You can place a waypoint (start/destination) in different ways. You can short or long press the map at the point where you want to place a waypoint or you can use the address fields in the upper half of the screen.
+__Note: You can also plan a route on the [[https://kurviger.de/en|website]] and transfer it to the app, using the Kurviger Cloud, a link to the route or a route file.__

+===== Finding your way around the app  =====
-===== First Start =====
+You can expand the route planning view from the upper half of the screen to the full screen to see and edit more details regarding your route. In this view you can perform actions like reversing or deleting the route. Click on the blue button with the arrow pointing downwards. You can move this view up again, with the blue button and the arrow up icon.
-When starting the Kurviger App for the first time, you have to accept the permissions. We require two permissions. We need to be able to access your location to locate you and make it possible to plan routes from your location to your destination. We need to be able to access your file system to (1) export routes to your device and (2) import routes from your device. Please read the shown warning about using the Kurviger App and also the [[https://kurviger.de/terms|Terms of Service]] of Kurviger.
+Clicking on the menu icon in the top-left, opens a menu with all relevant options, like ''Import'', ''Export'', or the ''Kurviger Cloud''.

-===== Planning Your First Route  =====
+===== Riding Your First Route  =====
-Planning a route is very simple. Long press the map at until a menu shows up, select "Set end", to set this location as destination of your route. If your location was found, the Kurviger App will automatically calculate the route for you, otherwise do the same for your start location. Congratulations, you planned your first route!
+Ok, that's the tedious part, now let's have some fun and enjoy a good ride!
-{{:app:set_as_start.png?200|}}{{:app:first_route.png?200|}}
+==== Turn-By-Turn Navigation ====
-===== Riding Your First Route  =====
+There is not much to do. Press the ''navigate'' button in the bottom-right corner of the screen and start riding and press on ‘’Start Navigation’’. If you have an audio device you will be able to hear voice route guidance as well (both cable and bluetooth work). If you disable your screen, the navigation will continue in the background and you will hear turn instructions, this is very handy if you don't have a [[app:faq:mount_smartphone|smartphone mount]] or to conserve battery.
-Ok, that's the tedious part, now let's have some fun and enjoy a good ride! Depending on the app you use there are different options for you. If you have the Kurviger Pro App, good for you, you can enjoy turn-by-turn navigation with voice guidance in the Kurviger App. If you have the Kurviger Free App, don't worry, you're still able to take a ride.
+Before you start riding, we highly recommend downloading the relevant offline maps for your route, this is not required but recommended. Just click on ‘’Download Offline-Maps'’. You can also slide up the panel to see more settings and options.
-==== Turn-By-Turn Navigation (Kurviger Pro Only) ====
+If you would like to receive navigation updates when the navigation is in the background or the screen is locked, you need to select ''Allow all the time'' in the permission screen. You can exit this screen again with the back arrow in the top-left.
-Actually there is not much to do. Press the ''navigate'' button in the bottom-right corner of the screen and start riding. If you have an audio link you will be able to hear voice route guidance as well.

+==== Export to a Satnav ====
-==== Follow Location ====
+Similar to the export function of the [[https://kurviger.de/en|Website]] you can export your route to a navigation app or device of your choice. Go to the main menu and select ''Export''. More information on exporting can be found in [[:route_transfer|]]. __Note: on newer Android devices it might not possible to save routes to the SD-card.__
-Kurviger Pro and Kurviger Free allow you to automatically follow your location and (optionally update the map orientation). You can enable the follow location mode by long pressing on the **location** button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can automatically update the screen orientation by pressing on the ''compass needle'' in the top-left corner of the screen and select ''GPS''. I also recommend you to enable the ''Turn instruction nodes'' in ''Settings->Routing''.

-==== Export to a Satnav ====
-Similar to the export function of [[https://kurviger.de/en|Kurviger.de]] you can export your route to a navigation app of your choice. There are also options to export the route to a Garmin or TomTom satnav using an USB-OTG adapter. Go to the main menu and select ''export''. Choose between a wide variety of export options that best fits your need (ofttimes using the route with additional waypoints is a good option, but really depends on your use-case). The default export path is in the ''Documents'' folder, for me it's ''/storage/emulated/0/Documents''. You can select a different folder that matches the import folder of your app you want to import to.
