-====== Terms and Definitions about Kurviger ======+====== Kurviger Explained - User interface and terms (UI) ======
  
-Why this page? It's all clear! So some might say, who has experience with route creation and / or navigation devices. **But** unfortunately, many terms are not used in the same way by the various equipment manufacturers. In addition, different travel publications use different terms for specific situationsExample: the difference between routing and navigation is often not clearly distinguished.+<WRAP info> The aim of this page is to make it easier for you to understand KurvigerIt should help you to better understand the world of Kurviger and find your way around it
  
-This page was created to help you understand Kurviger. It should help to avoid misunderstandings when reading the documentation and using Kurviger. Alsoconsistent use of terms can make communication in the [[https://forum.kurviger.de/|Forum]] easier. It is not a user manual and largely dispenses with operating instructions! +We know that the terminology around route creation and navigation can often be confusingespecially when different manufacturers and publications call the same things by different namesWith this page, we want to build a bridge to eliminate this confusion </WRAP>
  
-**Note**: The pictures are mainly from the app. Much of the website is similar. 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. 
-The peculiarities of the website and apps are considered in the posts about Kurviger Website and Kurviger Apps.  
  
 +----
  
-====== Views and Modes of the Website and Apps: ======+By providing clear **definitions and explanations**, we want to help reduce misunderstandings, both when reading the documentation and when using Kurviger itself. In addition, the definitions and explanations should serve as a tool that facilitates communication within the Kurviger community, e.g. in the forum.
  
-|**Map View, Map Mode, Route Planning Mode (App, Web)**|| +If you have any further questions, you can always contact us at [[https://forum.kurviger.de/|Kurviger Forum]]. 
-|{{general:df_gen_001.png?150|}}|The map mode is used for route planning and is the basis for the other modes. If a route is available and/or the location is known, it will also be displayed. If map data is missing for areas, these areas are displayed in white. In the app, you can plan a route with the map by long pressing the map, see also [[app:faq:map_gestures|here for more gestures]]. See also **map** and **route calculation** below.|+
  
-|**Follow-View, Folgen-Mode (App)**|| +----
-|{{general:df_gen_002.png?150|}}|The location must be known. By long pressing the **location** button for, the follow mode is activated. The app will automatically move the visible map section to match the position. This mode can be used without a planned route and no turn instructions are displayed. The follow mode can be deactivated by briefly pressing the **location** button.|+
  
-|**Navigation View, Navi View, Navi-Mode (App Pro)**|| +<WRAP box> 
-|{{general:df_gen_003.png?150|}}|The location must be known and a route must be available. Briefly pressing the **navigation** button activates the **navi mode**. The app automatically moves the visible map section to match the position and automatically adjusts the zoom level depending on the setting. Turn-by-turn directions are displayed and voice guidance is provided. The route can be recalculated automatically or manually when leaving the route. When you return to the route at a later point, navigation continues automatically. The navigation mode is deactivated by pressing the **navigation** button or reaching the destination.|+
  
-|**Navigation SimulationNavi Simulation (App Pro)**|| +<wrap em>Notes:</wrap>  
-|{{:general:df_gen_003c.jpg?150|}}|In this mode navigation is simulated for an existing route, the app behaves like a real navigationsee also **navigation view**. The simulation speed can be set much faster than during normal drivingIt is also possible to jump back and forth during the simulation.|+  The focus here is not on detailed operating instructions. Ratherthe focus is on understanding the underlying concepts and terminology that are essential for the effective use of Kurviger. 
 +  * The images are taken from both the website and the appMuch is similar on the website and in the app. For this reasonseparate 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 screensHowever, the text should still be valid. 
 +  * Sometimes images are very small. You can click on an image to enlarge it.

-|**Crosshair Mode (App)**|| +</WRAP>
-|{{general:df_gen_004.png?80|}}|In crosshair mode, when positioning on the map (e.g. positioning or moving waypoints) a **crosshair** and a **cancel** and **confirm** symbol is displayed. While these symbols are displayed, the map can be zoomed and moved under the crosshair. This allows **precise positioning**. By pressing the **confirm** symbol the displayed position is accepted, by pressing the **cancel** symbol the positioning is aborted. Crosshair mode is possible in **Map mode**, **follow mode** and **Navi mode**. See also [[app:faq:waypoint_move|here]].|+
  
-|**Auto Zoom Mode (App Pro)**|| +----
-||In auto zoom mode, the map zoom in **navi mode** is automatically adjusted according to route, location and/or speed. The limits of the zoom range are set in ''Settings | Navigation | Zoom''. The Auto Zoom mode is (de)activated in ''Settings | Navigation | Auto zoom''.|+
  
-|**GPS Recording Mode (App Pro)**|| 
-|{{general:df_gen_029.png?80|}}|In GPS mode, the **GPS panel** is displayed. In the panel is the recording symbol and **GPS** or a number. With this panel you can start and stop the recording of GPS data as **Track** and save and delete the recorded **Track**. More about Track and **Track recording** below or [[app:gps_tracking_logging|here]].|

-|**Location, current Position (App, Web)**|| +----
-|{{general:df_gen_010.png?60|}}|The location (or the current position) is determined by a sensor of the device using latitude and longitude data. In order to use this data for curves, it must be enabled in the device. If the location in the app is outside the viewing area, the position of the location is indicated in the direction of the location at the edge of the map.|+
  
-|**Overlay (App, Web)**|| +=== Menu bar: App control ===
-|{{general:df_gen_011.png?120|}}|Various data can be displayed in Kurviger on the map as an overlay, for example **Waypoint**, **Track**, and **Route**. The desired data must be available in the ''*.gpx'' file. The data loaded as an overlay is only for visual display on the map. ([[web:importing_gpx_track|If the data should also be used for route calculation, this must be specified when loading the file]]. Depending on the source, **Waypoint**, **Track** or **Route** can be loaded individually or as a combination, as an overlay. In the picture both the track, the waypoints and the route were imported as overlay.| +
-|{{general:df_gen_012.png?120|}}|**Track** imported as overlay. Tracks loaded as an overlay are displayed as tracks along a route. In the picture red dotted track on roads.| +

-|{{general:df_gen_015.png?100|}}|POI (Points of Interest) can be displayed depending on the setting. Kurviger currently offers a number of POIs for selection (e.g. petrol stations, passes, ...). They can be selected and displayed as map layers. The POIs are displayed with certain icons. Displaying information about the POI by touching the POI depends on the data, it is not always possible. [[app:faq:finding_pois|In Kurviger, you can set a waypoint at a POI for route calculation (start, waypoint, destination)]]. A POI itself is not a waypoint for route calculation. You can also [[web:pois|propose a new POI]].|+
  
-|**Booksmarks (App, Web)**|| 
-|{{general:df_gen_016.png?50|}}|It is possible to create and display user-defined location markers (bookmarks). A bookmark is similar to a POI, but bookmarks can be defined individually and even [[app:import_passknacker_pois|to be loaded from external sources]]. Bookmarks are displayed with an icon on the map.

 +''**Avoid travelling the same road twice**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_1.png?50|}} **Avoid using the same road twice** \\ This means that the Kurviger algorithm avoids using a road more than once on a route. \\   
 + 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid toll roads**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_2.png?50|}} **Avoid toll roads** \\ Avoiding toll roads can be particularly useful on long journeys, where toll charges can quickly add up. \\  
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid ferries**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_3.png?50|}} **Avoid ferries** \\ This instruction means that routes that include ferry crossings are avoided. This can be useful to avoid waiting times at ferry terminals and additional fees. \\  
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid motorways**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_4.png?50|}} **Avoid dual carriageways** \\ This avoids dual carriageways, which can lead to a more scenic and possibly quieter journey, but may also increase the journey time. \\  
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid main roads**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_5.png?50|}} **Avoid main roads** \\ This can be helpful to avoid traffic jams in densely populated or busy areas. \\ 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid the smallest roads**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_6.png?50|}} **Avoid the smallest roads** \\ This can be particularly useful in rural or inaccessible areas to avoid difficulties when navigating or driving. \\  
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Avoid unpaved roads**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:avoidance_7.png?50|}} **Avoid unpaved roads** \\ This avoidance helps to avoid unpaved or gravel roads to minimise risk and ensure a safer ride, especially in bad weather or rough terrain. \\  
 +

 + 
 +<wrap em>Notes:</wrap>    
 +  * Choosing a large number of avoidances means that Kurviger is severely restricted when calculating the route. 
 +  * Avoidances should therefore be used with caution and **sparingly**, as otherwise undesirable routes or long detours may be calculated! 
 +  * 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", "Avoid main roads" and "Avoid minor roads" should not be activated together).

 +==== Waypoints ==== 
 + 
 +''**Starting point**'' \\ 
 + 
 +{{:manual:start.png?nolink&40|starting point}} **Start**, start of the route. \\ Depending on the selected language of the website and / or the app, the term of this point can be replaced by a translated term. (e.g. in German: Start; in French: Départ) \\ \\ 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Via-Point**'' \\ 
 + 
 +{{:manual:intermediatepoint.png?nolink&40|Via-Point}} **Via-Point** Point on (or near) the route where, for example, an intermediate stop is planned or where there is a special view. \\ Sometimes VP is used as an abbreviation (e.g. in the forum). Depending on the chosen language of the website and/or app, the term of this point may be replaced by a translated term. (e.g. in German: Zwischenziel; in French: Point intermédiaire). \\ \\ 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Shaping point**'' \\ 
 +{{:manual:shapingpoint.png?nolink&40|}} **Shaping point** Point for route guidance over a certain section of the route, unobtrusive marking. \\ Sometimes SP is used as an abbreviation (e.g. in the forum). Depending on the selected language, the term of this point may be replaced by a translated term only in the old app. (e.g. in German: Formpunkt; in French: Point de forme). \\ \\ 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**End point**'' \\ 
 +{{:manual:end.png?nolink&40|}} **End point** End point of the route. \\ Depending on the language selected for the website and / or app, the term for this point may be replaced by a translated term. (e.g. in German: Ziel; in French: Arrivée). \\ \\

 +<WRAP box>  
 + 
 +<wrap em>Notes:</wrap>    
 +  * 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.

 + 
 +==== POIs (Points of Interest) ==== 
 + 
 +''**POIs**'' \\ 
 +{{:general:poi_uebersicht_de.png?200|}} **Points of Interest** \\ \\ **POI** (Points of Interest) can be displayed depending on the setting. Kurviger currently offers several POIs to choose from (e.g. petrol stations and mountain passes). The POIs **are displayed with symbols on the map**. You can click on them to get more information about this point. In Kurviger you can set a waypoint for the route calculation (start, intermediate destination, destination) at a POI.  \\ \\ 
 + 
 +==== Information points and instructions ==== 
 + 
 +''**Instruction points, turn-off points**'' \\ 
 +{{general:df_gen_032c.png?80|}} **Notification points, turning points** \\ \\ **Notification points**, **turning points** can be displayed on the route depending on the setting. They are displayed as points on the route. These points are created by the routing software and cannot be moved manually. \\ \\ 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Turning instructions**'' \\ 
 +{{:manual:turn-by-turn_instructions.png?80|}} ** Turn-by-turn instructions** \\ \\ In the navigation, **turn-by-turn instructions** and **instructions** are displayed with symbols and distance information for the turn points and waypoints. Depending on the setting, the instructions are also output via **voice announcement** during navigation. \\ \\

 +---- 
 + 
 +''**Potentially closed roads, restrictions**'' \\ 
 +{{general:df_gen_034a.png?80|}} **Potentially closed roads, restrictions** \\ \\ Symbols for **time or vehicle-dependent restrictions** (e.g. road closures for **roadworks**, **weekend driving bans**) are displayed depending on the setting. The restriction symbol is displayed on the corresponding route section and the route section is highlighted in red. **Click on the symbol to display further details about the restriction ** \\ \\
