 +|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.|
