| - | ====== Interface (UI) of the Kurviger App ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | This section describes the app's UI (user interface) (appearance and elements) as well as some explanations of the operation and settings of the app without and with subscription. The app without subscription has not so much functions than with subscription. Therefore some things are described here that are not available in the version without subscription. Functions or Features of the app without subscription sometimes are marked with Free or FREE. Additional functions or features of the app with subscription often are marked with Pro or PRO. In the still usable app Kurviger Pro 1.x some of the features described here and marked with Pro or PRO are not available! | ||
| - | |||
| - | Brief summary of the meaning of the following labels in this guide: | ||
| - | * FREE or Free: This is available or possible in the Kurviger App (version 2) both for free (without subscription) and for a fee (with subscription). There may be deviations in Kurviger Pro (1.x). | ||
| - | * PRO or Pro: This is only available or possible in the Kurviger app (version 2) for a fee (with subscription). Partially this is also available or possible in the still maintained app Kurviger Pro (1.x). In the app, the associated menu items are marked with (Pro). The activated subscription is highlighted in the subscription dialog. | ||

| - | ====== Android storage access framework ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Android Storage Access Framework (SAF) is a tool for importing (loading) and exporting (saving) files from the app. It can access app-independent folders on the device (internal and SD card) and files within them. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Android storage access framework is opened from the app during the corresponding actions (e.g. import or export of route files). In the various topics of this operating guide, the opening of the framework is referred to in the respective actions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ATTENTION: At some devices or Android versions there are problems with storage access to the SD card! Recommendation: | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the following **some possibilities of the opened framework** are described. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Rough overview:** | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Views:** | ||
| - | * Tile view | ||
| - | * List view | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Folder selection: | ||
| - | * change view if necessary (see Views) | ||
| - | * internal folders selectable | ||
| - | * SD card folders selectable | ||
| - | * select desired folder | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Import (load) a file:** | ||
| - | * select desired folder (see Folder selection) | ||
| - | * tap desired file | ||
| - | * Framework is closed | ||
| - | * Action continues in Kurviger App with the selected file | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Export (save) a file:** | ||
| - | * Input field (possibly preassigned with file name) and SAVE button are displayed | ||
| - | |||
| - | |**Input field** || | ||
| - | |{{: | ||
| - | |::: |**B: File extension** (e.g. .pref), the file extension and the associated dot must not be overwritten | | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **ATTENTION! When changing the file name in the input field DO NOT OVERWRITE THE FILE EXTENSION (e.g. .gpx, .kurviger, .pref). The file extension must be preserved!** | ||
| - | |||
| - | * select desired folder (see Folder selection) | ||
| - | | ||
| - | * **Save file, 2 options (without, with overwrite)** | ||
| - | | ||
| - | * **A: File will not be overwritten** | ||
| - | * Change the file name in the input field, (if necessary,) confirm with SAVE. | ||
| - | * If the file exists in the folder and it was not tapped in the folder, it will not be overwritten, | ||
| - | * **Overwriting the existing file is thus not possible.** | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **B: File optionally can be overwritten** | ||
| - | * Tap on the file in the folder (file name is transferred to the input field) and confirm with the SAVE button. | ||
| - | * If the file exists in the folder, a **Overwrite? | ||
| - | * **If confirmed with OK, the file will be overwritten.** | ||
| - | * **If confirmed with CANCEL, the file will be not overwritten, | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Framework is closed | ||
| - | * The work in the Kurviger app can be continued. | ||

| - | |||
| - | The app **Kurviger** (Free) (version 1.x) is updated to the app **Kurviger** (version 2.x). There the basic features can still be used for free. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The app **Kurviger Pro** (version 1.x) is maintained with its previous features until further notice. It can only be used and updated by its current users. New features will not be added in Kurviger Pro (1.x) but only in Kurviger (version 2). | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | Features comparison of Kurviger website, app 1.x and 2.x is linked in the sidebar. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **How do I get from the free basic features to the PRO features (App Kurviger version 2.x)?** | ||
| - | |||
| - | Very easy! | ||
| - | |||
| - | * '' | ||
| - | | ||
| - | Then you can select your monthly or annually subscription. Then you are linked to Google Play to make the subscription contract using your Google account. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ^Sign up subscription ^^^ | ||

| - | |||
| - | With the same Google account you can use the current subscription for its duration on other Android devices at no additional cost. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you have more than one Google Account, you should remember which account you used to make the subscription! Only with this account you will be able to use the current subscription for its duration at no additional cost - e.g. on other devices! | ||
| - | |||
| - | **How do I get from the PRO app (version 1.x) to the PRO features (version 2.x)?** | ||
| - | |||
| - | There is no direct way from the PRO app (1.x). In the sidebar of this docu is a link to the Kurviger app in Google Play. Otherways in Google Play you have to look for Kurviger. There you can install the Kurviger app. Then you have Kurviger 2.x with basic features on your device. From this free app to the PRO features (version 2.x) you come like described above. | ||
| - | * Additional Info: You can transfer your routes, bookmarks, recorded tracks, maps, preferences from Kurviger PRO (1.x) to Kurviger 2 app. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The app Kurviger Pro (1.x) remains installed and can be used until you uninstall it. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **My PRO app (1.x) is missing on my Android device. How can I install it?** | ||
| - | |||
| - | You have uninstalled your PRO app (1.x) on your Android device or you have a new Android device. You want to use the PRO app (1.x) on the device, but you can't find it in the Play Store. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Kurviger PRO (1.x) is still available in the Play Store. But only under the account under which it was originally purchased. Under this account you select | ||
| - | * '' | ||
| - | * Then instead of '' | ||
| - | * Then Kurviger PRO should be selectable, select and install | ||
| - | |||
| - | This is also possible on multiple Android devices. If you have the Kurviger app (2.x) installed on the device, both apps can be used separately. | ||

| - | |||
| - | ====== Map, POIs, Bookmarks, Address, Coordinates ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The map data contains not only the streets but also other information. For example, various POIs.\\ | ||
| - | You can adapt the map to your needs in various ways. Depending on the app (without or with subscription) e.g. map provider, map colouring, mountains, POIs from map, individually defined bookmarks. | ||
| - | |||
| - | //Note:\\ | ||
| - | For PRO, the use of Kurviger offline maps is recommended. These are continuously updated and improved.\\ | ||
| - | They are only available in Kurviger PRO respectively with subscription.\\ | ||
| - | // | ||
| - | |||
| - | **See " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Route planning, Routing, Route, Waypoints, Instructions, | ||
| - | |||
| - | At routing a route is created from the specification of waypoints and route options.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | During routing (route calculation) the instruction points (instructions) are also determined.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | For the route, waypoints and instruction points information displays are available in the form of pop-ups, lists and / or menus.\\ | ||
| - | Actions are possible for some information displays. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Route transfer. A route can be imported, loaded, opened, exported, saved (or whatever you want to call it) and / or shared with others. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **See " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Kurviger Pro: Navigation, Simulation, GPS Recording, Auto Zoom, Display Locking, Rerouting ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the App Kurviger Pro resp. with subscription there are the possibilities for navigation, simulation of navigation, GPS recording (logging), Auto Zoom.\\ | ||
| - | You can activate a screen lock for the app, e.g. to prevent false activations by raindrops when it rains.\\ | ||
| - | When leaving the route during navigation, there is the possibility of automatic or manually started route recalculation (rerouting).\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | **See " | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | //Note:\\ | ||
| - | Offline maps are recommended as they are constantly updated and improved for Kurviger.\\ | ||
| - | If the Internet connection is poor or non-existent, | ||
| - | Offline map data and offline routing data differ! They are in separate files!\\ | ||
| - | Navi mode, offline maps and offline routing files are only possible in Kurviger Pro (with subscription or 1.x).\\ | ||

| - | |||
| - | ====== Internet connection, SIM card, online, offline use ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Use of the app with an Internet connection is called online use; use without an Internet connection is called offline use. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If you use a smartphone or tablet without a SIM card, you usually do not have an Internet connection while driving. However, there are ways to connect the device without a SIM card to the Internet using devices with SIM cards. | ||
| - | This description does not differentiate between devices with or without a SIM card, but rather whether the app is operated with or without an Internet connection.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | It can happen that due to poor network in certain areas there is no Internet supply.\\ | ||
| - | |||
| - | The app requires an Internet connection to plan a route with the Kurviger options. An internet connection is also required for address search, unlimited use of online maps, show mountains, import of route files for route calculation, | ||
| - | |||
| - | The app is most convenient to use when an unlimited internet connection is available. You don't need to take any measures for offline use then. Therefore, Internet connection is recommended to get familiar with the app. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If the Internet connection fails, it is still possible under certain conditions to follow or navigate while driving. Previously shown online maps are usually still available in the app. Already opened routes can be used without route recalculation. Importing *.kurviger route files and using them is also possible without an Internet connection. Problems occur if the map data of the visited area is not available and/or a route recalculation is necessary. An overlay (e.g. track from a *.gpx or *.kurviger file) can be imported and displayed without an Internet connection. | ||
| - | |||
| - | With PRO the above restriction also applies in offline mode. But PRO offers additional options for offline use (see below). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ---- | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Kurviger Pro: Offline use ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Offline use** is the operation without an Internet connection. If you are not connected to the Internet, some functions of the app may be missing or there may be problems that are not present with an Internet connection. For example, the following things will then no longer work or not work fully: | ||
| - | * Display of online maps | ||
| - | * Hillshading | ||
| - | * Online route calculation with the Kurviger Route Options | ||
| - | * Address lookup | ||
| - | |||
| - | For **Offline use** the app **Kurviger** with subscription and the app Kurviger Pro (1.x) (short spelling for both PRO, Pro or Kurviger Pro) offers following possibilities: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Display of offline maps**, which have to be saved before in the device (internal or SD card) for the desired area and then opened in the app. | ||
| - | |||
| - | * **Offline route calculation or offline route recalculation** without using the Kurviger Route options (e.g. when deviating from the original route). To do this a Routing Service selectable in the settings can be used. See the descriptions in the " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ATTENTION: At some devices or Android versions there are problems with storage access to the SD card! Recommendation: | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Offline maps** and **Offline routing data** are in different files! To be able to use both, you have to use for both **for the desired area** the corresponding **files stored in the device**, as described in " | ||
| - | |||
| - | Thus, in Kurviger Pro the follow and navigation mode in offline use is possible nearly without restrictions. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Offline Address Lookup is not possible. | ||
| - | |||
