-====== Getting Started ======
+====== First steps with the Kurviger app ======
-Thanks for using the Kurviger App! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Here is a small tutorial to get you started using the Kurviger App.
+<WRAP info> Thank you for choosing the Kurviger app! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Here's a little guide to help you get started using the Kurviger app. If you have any questions, take a look at our [[:web:faq|]] or ask in our [[https://forum.kurviger.de/|Forum]]. The [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kurviger.app|Kurviger App]] is available on Google Play.

-===== First Start =====
+====== How to find your way around the app ======
-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.
+The most important actions that are relevant for planning your route can be found in the ''⁝'' menu at the top right. Here, for example, you can reverse, save or delete a route. But you can also generate a round trip or export a route, for example.
-{{:app:location_access.png?200|}}{{:app:file_access.png?200|}}{{:app:tos.png?200|}}
+You can expand the route planning view from the top half of the screen to the whole screen to see more details about your route by clicking on the blue ''arrow'' buttons.
-===== Planning Your First Route  =====
+If you click on the ''Kurviger'' logo at the top left, a menu opens with all relevant options, such as ''Import'', ''Export'' or the ''Kurviger Cloud''.
-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!

-===== Riding Your First Route  =====
+====== Planning your first route ======
-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.
+===== Place waypoint =====
-==== Turn-By-Turn Navigation (Kurviger Pro Only) ====
+You can place a **waypoint** (start/finish/intermediate destination, such as a POI) in various ways:
+  * You can use the address fields ''Start'' and ''End'' in the upper half of the screen
+  * You can short or long press on the map at the point where you want to place a waypoint
+  * You can click on the POIs displayed on the map and add them to your route as waypoints using the ''Add to route'' button
+  * You can use the ''search bar'' above the address fields to search for a specific location or coordinates and add them to the route
-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.

+{{:app:getting_started_app_3.png?nolink&200|}}
-==== Follow Location ====
+----
-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''.
+===== Set curvature =====
-{{:app:pre_follow_location.png?200|}}{{:app:follow_location.png?200|}}
+You can set the curvature of your route using the ''Curvature'' button below the address fields. To do this, simply select the desired curvature. You can find more information about the curves [[:general:definitions|here]].
-==== Export to a Satnav ====
+===== Set avoidances =====
-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.
+You can define the avoidances of your route using the ''Avoidances'' button below the address fields. To do this, simply select the desired avoidances. To set the strength of the avoidances individually, you can click on the number and then adjust the avoidance strength using the slider. You can find more information about the avoidances [[:general:definitions|here]].
+===== Show route information =====
+Kurviger offers you the option of displaying further route information for your planned route. This information includes the distance, journey time and altitude metres. You can also use the altitude diagram to analyse your route and keep track of closed roads or toll booths, for example.
+To access this information, click on the ''i'' button below the address fields. A widget will then open, which you can slide up to display **all relevant information** and also the **turn-by-turn directions**.
+Tip: By clicking on the altitude diagram, you can switch between different **information (altitude, route information, speed limit, route profile for sections)** using the arrows that appear.

+If you have headphones or an audio system and want to use it with Kurviger, that's no problem, just connect it to your smartphone (Bluetooth or plug). If you don't have a holder for your smartphone or would like to save your battery, you can switch off your display during navigation and the announcements will continue as normal.
+If you want to receive navigation updates while navigation is running in the background or the screen is locked, you must select "Always allow" in the authorisation screen. You can exit this screen using the back arrow at the top left.
