+ | ^ **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. | | ||

+ | ^ **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. | | ||
