-====== Basics ======+====== 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.

----- +====== How to find your way around the app ======
- +
-===== User Interface (UI) ===== +
- +
-==== General information about website and app ====+
  
-The Kurviger website provides comprehensive information about Kurviger, including details on the website and app, as well as account management options. Both the website and the app feature a main function of a route planner for planning, importing, and exporting routes and circular tours. Premium features expand the planning and display options. Additionally, a cloud function allows for saving and accessing routes and favorite places through one's own account, across both the website and 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.
  
-Exclusive to the app is a special follow mode view where the map follows the location, and premium users benefit from visual and optional spoken guidance along a planned route.+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.
  
-Both the Kurviger website and app offer user interfaces (UI) with necessary displays, information, and controls. Depending on the device and screen size, the layout and operation may vary. +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''.

 +{{:app:getting_started_app_17.png?nolink&200|}}
  
-To select or switch between various tasks (e.g., planning, import, export) on the Kurviger website and app, there is a menu bar and a main menu. The menu bar is sometimes also called a navigation bar, as it allows navigation (control) within the program to the individual tasks. Since the website and app are used on various screen sizes and formats, the interfaces are adapted to these sizes and formats, including the menu bars and main menus. 
  
-To learn about the Kurviger website and app in general, read the following sections. For individual information you can go directly to the +Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
-desired section:+
  
-  * Control of the website, home screen (menu bar) +====== Planning your first route ======
-  * Control of the app, home screen route planning +
-  * Control of the app, home screen in Follow-(Navi Light-) or navigation mode +
-  * Control of the website and app through additional menus and the sidebar +
-  * Select operating language+
  
 +===== Place waypoint =====
  
-=== Menu bar: Control of the website ===+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
  
-You can navigate to various sub-pages (e.g. Search, Cloud, Route Transfer, Account) via the menu bar on the Kurviger website. The menu bar is located at the top of the website. This means that clicking on an element calls up the corresponding page or menu. Depending on the selected page and browser display, more or fewer elements are displayed and their arrangement can change. +----

-The Kurviger app serves as a route planner, for example. In addition to the route planner, the Kurviger app also contains a special +
-view for driving, the follow mode. The map follows your location. As a premium feature, visual and optional +
-voice guidance along a route is possible. Your +
-account can also be accessed from the app. You can control the accessibility of these things, for example, via the menu bar and the +
-main menu of the app. +
-The menu bar is located in the route planner at the top of the app, for example. It contains elements with which you can, for example +
-open the main menu and control the Kurviger app.  +

 +===== Set curvature =====
  
-==== UI – Planning, import, export, cloud, search====+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]].
  
-The basic structure of the user interface (UI) for route planning (planning, import, export, cloud, search) is described here. This is only intended to provide a general overview. +===== Set avoidances =====
-If you need detailed information on the operation itself, we recommend that you take a look at the corresponding topic blocks.+
  
-To learn about the structure of the user interface for route planning, read the following sections. For individual information you can go directly to the desired section:+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]].
