====== Terms and Definitions about Kurviger ====== | ====== Terms and Definitions about Kurviger ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why this page? It's all clear! So some might say, who has experience with route creation and / or navigation devices.\\ | ||
+ | **But** unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | This page was created to help you understand Kurviger. It should help to avoid misunderstandings when reading the documentation and using Kurviger. Also, consistent use of terms can make communication in the Forum easier.\\ | ||
+ | Operating instructions are largely not included! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note**: The pictures are from both the website and the app. Much is similar on the website and in the app. That's why there are no separate pictures here as far as possible. In addition, over time, revising the app or website may lead to differences between the images in the documentation and their appearance on the screens. However, the text should still be valid. If you find any discrepancies between the text and the behaviour of the website or app, please let us know in the forum.\\ | ||
+ | **Sometimes pictures are very small. To enlarge a picture you can click on it.**\\ | ||
+ | :!: means: The pictures or info refers to the old app. For the new app modifications may be needed.\\ | ||
+ | **Links to more info see at the end of the page.**\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | And now enjoy reading. | ||

+ | | To avoid problems with route calculation and navigation, **do not place the waypoints on crossways, circular traffics or junctions**! |||| | ||
+ | | The waypoints do not have to be positioned on the road. They may well be positioned on buildings or placas, for example, to mark **meeting points**. However this can lead to problems with turn instructions and export! |||| | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====== Online, Offline (Data, Actions, Actuality) ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ **Data in online and offline operation** ^ | ||
+ | | Data are required for map display and route calculation. The data used in Kurviger are largely based on data from OpenStreetMap.org. Some map data are also based on data from other sources. Between updating the original data e.g. in OpenStreetMap and using it in Kurviger, some intermediate steps are necessary. This leads to a time gap between changing the original data and availability in Kurviger. For information on the time gap, see below for online and offline operation. When using the data, Kurviger must comply with various licenses and directives. | | ||
+ | | :!: | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ **Online operation (App, Web)** ^ | ||
+ | | **Online operation** is the Operation of Website and app with an existing Internet Connection. Maps and route calculation work without further actions. | | ||
+ | | Data changes become effective in Kurviger after few days in the online route calculation, | ||
+ | | :!: | | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ **Offline operation (App)** ^ | ||
+ | | **Offline operation** is the Operation without Internet connecction. This is only possible with the app. Not all functions are available in offline mode. For example the address search is missing. Special Actions are required for other functions: | | ||
+ | | To Display maps **offline maps** for the desired area must be saved in the device and opened in the app! Only possible in App with respective subscription! | | ||
+ | | For offline routing (route calculation) **offline Routing data** of the corresponding Provider and the desired area must be saved in the device and opened in the app! Only possible in App with respective subscription! | | ||
+ | | Data changes become effective in Kurviger after about 1 to 2 weeks in the offline route calculation and after about 1 to 2 months in the offline map display. | | ||
