+ | <WRAP info> The aim of this page is to make it easier for you to understand Kurviger. It should help you to better understand the world of Kurviger and find your way around it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We know that the terminology around route creation and navigation can often be confusing, especially when different manufacturers and publications call the same things by different names. With this page, we want to build a bridge to eliminate this confusion. | ||

+ | * The images are taken from both the website and the app. Much is similar on the website and in the app. For this reason, separate images are not used here as far as possible. | ||
+ | * Due to revisions to the app or website over time, there may be differences between the images in the documentation and the appearance on the screens. However, the text should still be valid. | ||
+ | * Sometimes images are very small. You can click on an image to enlarge it. | ||

+ | There is a menu bar and a main menu for selecting or switching between different functions (e.g. planning, import, export) on the Kurviger website and app. The menu bar is sometimes also referred to as the navigation bar, as it enables navigation (control) within the programme to the individual tasks. | ||

+ | * Avoidances should therefore be used with caution and **sparingly**, | ||
+ | * It is also important to ensure that the avoidances are used sensibly in order to obtain a good route. | ||
+ | * For example, you should take care not to activate avoidances that conflict with each other \\ (example: "Avoid motorways", | ||

+ | * The **via points and shaping points** are labelled as waypoints with **consecutive numbering** (starting with 1). | ||
+ | ** **Start and destination** are labelled as such and are **not numbered**. | ||
+ | * To avoid problems with route calculation and navigation, do not place the **waypoints at junctions, roundabouts or turn-offs**! | ||
+ | * The **waypoints do not have to be positioned on the road in Kurviger planning**. In Kurviger, they **can be positioned near the road**, e.g. at buildings or squares, to mark meeting points, for example. | ||
+ | * However, **waypoints next to the road can sometimes lead to confusing instructions** for such waypoints during navigation. If routes with such waypoints are transferred to other planning or navigation systems, there may be problems with planning and / or navigation! They may then have to be placed on the road. | ||
