-====== Route recording ======
+====== First steps with the Kurviger app ======
-<wrap lo>Route recording, GPS recording, track recording, GPS recording or GPS logging</wrap>
+<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 ======
-<WRAP info> You can record your routes with the [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kurviger.app|Kurviger 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.
-When you pause navigation, you can see your journey in the planning view. You can save your recording in the cloud when you have finished your journey. In the Kurviger Cloud, you can see more details about your journey and export it as a GPX. Route recording works in both Navigation and Follow mode.
-</WRAP>
-<wrap lo>Please note that route recording is only possible with version 3.3.0 of the Kurviger app and is currently only available for BETA users. You can find a brief explanation of how to use the Beta Program [[https://forum.kurviger.de/t/kurviger-app-google-play-beta/14177|here]]
+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.
-</wrap>
-===== Switch route recording on / off=====
+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''.
-As a user, you decide individually whether and when your routes should be recorded. This can be set in the settings of the Kurviger app:
