| - | === Operating guide for the Kurviger app === | + | The draft for the future |
| - | + | ||
| - | The app **Kurviger** is a great tool to create routes, to load, save, display and share routes with friends. You can also explore areas with or without a route in follow mode.\\ | + | |
| - | With Subscription you have more possibilities (see below).\\ | + | |
| - | The app can be adjusted very flexibly to the device and the needs of the user.\\ | + | |
| - | In order to use the app and the advantages of their settings without any problems, you should take a little time to get familiar with them. To get to know the app and as a guide, this Operating guide is available | + | |

| - | ====== 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 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! | ||

| - | |||
| - | 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 2. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Each app (Kurviger 2, Kurviger Pro 1.x) is an independent app and can be used independent from each other. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Features comparison of Kurviger website, app 1.x and 2.x is linked in the sidebar. | ||
| - | |||

| - | You can adapt the map to your needs in various ways. Depending on the app (FREE, PRO (with PRO features)) e.g. map provider, map colouring, mountains, POIs from map, individually defined bookmarks. | ||
| - | |||
| - | //Note:\\ | ||
| - | For Kurviger PRO, the use of Kurviger offline maps is recommended. These are continuously updated and improved for Kurviger PRO.\\ | ||
| - | They are only available in Kurviger PRO.\\ | ||

| - | ====== 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. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | ====== Kurviger Pro: Navigation, Simulation, GPS Logging, Auto Zoom, Display Locking, Rerouting ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In the App Kurviger Pro there are the possibilities for navigation, simulation of navigation, GPS 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.\\ | ||
| - | // | ||

| - | |||
| - | ====== 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 the App Kurviger Pro the above restriction also applies in offline mode. But this app 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 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 " | ||
| - | |||
| - | **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. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Procedure for using offline maps and offline routing data\\ | ||
