====== First steps with the Kurviger app ======

<WRAP info> Thank you for choosing the Kurviger app! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Here's a little guide to help you get started using the Kurviger app. If you have any questions, take a look at our [[:web:faq|]] or ask in our [[https://forum.kurviger.de/|Forum]]. The [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kurviger.app|Kurviger App]] is available on Google Play.
</WRAP> 

====== How to find your way around the app ======

The most important actions that are relevant for planning your route can be found in the ''⁝'' menu at the top right. Here, for example, you can reverse, save or delete a route. But you can also generate a round trip or export a route, for example.

You can expand the route planning view from the top half of the screen to the whole screen to see more details about your route by clicking on the blue ''arrow'' buttons.

If you click on the ''Kurviger'' logo at the top left, a menu opens with all relevant options, such as ''Import'', ''Export'' or the ''Kurviger Cloud''.

====== Planning your first route ======

===== Place waypoint =====

You can place a **waypoint** (start/finish/intermediate destination, such as a POI) in various ways:
  * You can use the address fields ''Start'' and ''End'' in the upper half of the screen
  * You can short or long press on the map at the point where you want to place a waypoint
  * You can click on the POIs displayed on the map and add them to your route as waypoints using the ''Add to route'' button
  * You can use the ''search bar'' above the address fields to search for a specific location or coordinates and add them to the route

===== Set curvature =====

You can set the curvature of your route using the ''Curvature'' button below the address fields. To do this, simply select the desired curvature. You can find more information about the curves [[:general:definitions|here]].

===== Set avoidances =====

You can define the avoidances of your route using the ''Avoidances'' button below the address fields. To do this, simply select the desired avoidances. To set the strength of the avoidances individually, you can click on the number and then adjust the avoidance strength using the slider. You can find more information about the avoidances [[:general:definitions|here]].

===== Show route information =====

Kurviger offers you the option of displaying further route information for your planned route. This information includes the distance, journey time and altitude metres. You can also use the altitude diagram to analyse your route and keep track of closed roads or toll booths, for example.

To access this information, click on the ''i'' button below the address fields. A widget will then open, which you can slide up to display **all relevant information** and also the **turn-by-turn directions**.

Tip: By clicking on the altitude diagram, you can switch between different **information (altitude, route information, speed limit, route profile for sections)** using the arrows that appear.

===== Drive your first route - start navigation =====
Ok, that's the tedious part, let's drive the planned route and enjoy the ride! There's not much to do. 

Click on the ''Start Navigation'' button in the bottom right corner of the interface and select the starting point of your route (if your current position is not on the route). Now click on ''Start navigation'' and enjoy your winding tour!

If you have headphones or an audio system and want to use it with Kurviger, that's no problem, just connect it to your smartphone (Bluetooth or plug). If you don't have a holder for your smartphone or would like to save your battery, you can switch off your display during navigation and the announcements will continue as normal.

If you want to receive navigation updates while navigation is running in the background or the screen is locked, you must select "Always allow" in the authorisation screen. You can exit this screen using the back arrow at the top left.
