 ===== Getting Started with Offline Maps =====
+To start using offline maps, go to the menu -> ''Map''. This menu allows you to download, open, and add offline maps. We provide offline maps for the whole world, if you are missing an area, let us know in the [[https://forum.kurviger.de/|forum]]. Click on ''Download maps'' to get to our [[https://download.kurviger.de/maps/|map download site]]. Select the area you want to download. To download the map of Germany, go to  ''europe'' -> ''germany.map''. The map download is handled by your browser. Once the download finishes you can add the map to the Kurviger App. You can also choose to download maps from [[http://www.openandromaps.org/en/|OpenAndroMaps]], they are fully compatible with our map format. If there are issues with the download, please have a look here: [[app:faq:offline_maps_download_issue]].

 ==== Opening Your First Map ====
-You can open maps, by going to the Kurviger App, menu -> ''Map'' -> ''Open Map''. A file browser will open up, go to the ''Download'' folder. Click on your downloaded region, e.g. ''world.map''. You will now see your downloaded region, browsing this map needs no internet connection. Mixing offline and online maps is currently not possible, so you can only view your downloaded region, but you can add other regions. As shown in the example above, I personally like to download the ''world.map'' + any regions I am interested in.

+Adding other maps, is as easy as opening your first map. Simply go to the [[https://download.kurviger.de/maps/|map download site]] and download the regions you are interested in. The areas do not need to be adjacent, just choose any you like. Go to the Kurviger App, menu -> ''Map'' -> ''Open Map''. This time the app will ask you if you want to add or open the map. If you add it your current maps are kept in the app while the new maps are added. If you open the map, the currently opened maps will be removed. Select your downloaded region. The region has been added to your offline available regions. You can add as many offline maps as you want for free.

-===== Current Limitations =====
+Enjoy your ride with [[https://kurviger.de/en|Kurviger]]!
