- +
-For links to the other topics of the user manual and more info about the Kurviger app see [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]. +
- +
-And now enjoy the doc and using the Kurviger app.\\ +
- +
----- +
- +
-====== Navigation, Navi mode ====== +
- +
-In the app **Kurviger Pro** there is the Navi mode. In this mode, access to the location must be enabled in the device. A route is required. +
- +
-To be able to use the navigation, the navigation mode must be activated beforehand. You select the navigation mode with +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Navigation mode**'' > +
- +
-Dialog opens.  +
- +
-Dialog **Navigation mode** +
-  * **o Normal** //(**this setting is required for the navigation (navi-mode)**)// +
-  * **o Simulation** //(for navi simulation, see below)// +
-Select the required mode.\\ +
- +
-In Navi mode, the map is automatically moved on the screen so that the location is displayed in the visible area. Guidance along the existing route takes place with the help of various display panels. Depending on the settings, voice guidance is also possible. Voice guidance is also possible with the screen switched off (see also FAQ, Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). +
- +
-Kurviger Pro offers very flexible navigation by popular demand. An automatic route recalculation (rerouting) can be switched on.\\ +
- +
-If automatic rerouting is switched off: +
-  * the original route can be left at any point if necessary and you can return to the route at any point. +
-  * There is no route guidance off the route but a warning sign is displayed. In addition, a direction arrow indicating the direction to the route. +
-  * When returning to the route, the route guidance is continued. +
-  * Off route, a route recalculation can be started manually. +
- +
-If you are on a route and switch on navigation on the section of the route between the last waypoint before the destination and the destination, navigation may not take place. To prevent this, the following recommendation can be made: When planning the route, set a waypoint (shaping point or via point) on the route shortly before the destination. +
- +
-When rerouting is started automatically or manually, starting from the current location the route is recalculated according to the selected navigation type (previously: route recalculation mode) to a point located on the current route. +
- +
-As a newcomer, first test navigation with route recalculation switched off and deliberately deviate from the route. Observe the behavior of the app. With a little familiarization, you can then make your first attempts with manual or automatic route recalculation. This is possible both online (with Internet connection) and offline (without Internet connection). +
- +
-**When using the Navi mode, there are the following recommendations:** +
-  * **Save route as *.kurviger file in device (internal or SD card)** //(See "Route planning, ..., Transfer" at "Additional topics of the operating guide to the Kurviger Apps", Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]])// +
-  * **When importing the route, also import the track as an overlay** //(See "Route planning, ..., Transfer" at "Additional topics of the operating guide to the Kurviger Apps", Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]])// +
-    * *.kurviger route file and its track display can be very helpful for the continuation of the tour in case of intentional or unintentional deviation from the route. +
-  * **Use offline maps for the required area** //(See below "Offline maps")// +
-  * **Leave automatic rerouting off or switch it off** //(see below "Switching on / off automatic rerouting")// +
- +
-Operation without Internet connection (offline operation) see below in the respective sections. +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-In case of poor or no internet connection, it is recommended to disable automatic route recalculation (see more below) and / or use offline routing data for rerouting in navi mode.\\  +
-With offline rerouting and offline routing, the Kurviger routing options cannot be taken into account!\\ +
-If the *.kurviger route file of the original route exists, this file can be loaded if required (e.g. as an overlay). By setting waypoints accordingly, a route corresponding to the original route can then also be calculated offline.\\  +

- +
----- +
- +
-===== Especially for round trips ===== +
- +
-For round trips, do not switch on the navigation at the start, but possibly start in follow mode and switch on navigation only about 50 to 100 m after the starting point. Otherwise, it can happen that the app leads you to the destination in an unfavorable constellation (map data, GPS signal) and displays the message "Arrive at destination" and ends the navigation. +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Switching on and off, pausing and resuming navigation ===== +
- +
-**Switch on:**\\ +
- +
-If you are in map or follow mode, you can switch on navigation by tapping the navigation button (5).  +
-  * ''**Navigation** button'' > +
-The navigation button (5) is green (in 2.x, blue in 1.x) when navigation is on.\\ +
- +
-**Switch off:**\\ +
- +
-When you reach the destination, navigation is switched off and depending on the setting, the app then automatically switches to follow mode. +
- +
-If the navigation is running or paused, you can turn it off by long touching the navigation button (5).  +
-  * ''**Navigation** button //**(Long)**//'' > +
-A dialog opens +
-  * confirm with OK that navigation is finished. +
-This is to avoid that the navigation is terminated unintentionally.\\ +
- +
-The navigation button (5) is then displayed in the usual neutral color again.\\ +
- +
-The app then returns to the previously set mode. See therefore "At destination switch from Navigation to Follow mode".\\ +
- +
-**Pause:**\\ +
- +
-Navigation can be stopped (paused) without ending it. This can be useful when leaving the route, e.g. for a stopover (e.g. refueling, sightseeing, eating near the route). When navigation is paused, there is no unintentional route recalculation. During the pause, the navi panels are not displayed. +
- +
-You can activate the pause while navigation is running with  +
-  * ''**Navigation** button //**(Short)**//'' > +
-Navigation is paused. +
- +
-**Continue navigation, end pause:**\\ +
- +
-You can continue the navigation with activated pause with  +
-  * ''**Navigation** nbutton //**(Short)**//'' > +
-The pause is finished and navigation continues. +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-When pause is enabled, you can zoom and move the map to explore the area.\\ +
-When the pause is activated, the map does not follow the location. By touching the location button, you can position the map at the location. Follow mode is not possible during the pause.\\ +
-When the pause is over, Auto zoom will take its setting into account and if the location is out of view, the map will automatically be displayed at the location.\\ +
-At sightseeing, it can be helpful to place an address point or bookmark at the location of the vehicle (see topic "Map, ..., Bookmarks, ..., Address", Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). This may make it easier to find your way back to the vehicle.\\ +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== At destination switch from Navigation to Follow mode ===== +
- +
-The Kurviger Pro app offers the option to automatically switch from navigation to follow mode when you reach your destination. This offers advantages if you want to drive an additional route at the destination and follow it with the app.\\ +
- +
-This requires the corresponding selection of the following option for the following setting: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Follow after arrival [_]**'' +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-This setting option is used to flexibly adjust the Kurviger app to the user's preferences.\\ +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Switch on / off map rotation in Navi mode, show route from current location to destination. ===== +
- +
-In Navi mode, a display with or without map rotation is possible. If you want an overview of the route from the current location to the destination, you can also display this. +
-  +
-  * ''**Compass** button'' > +
- +
-By touching the compass button (3) a dialog is opened +
-  * **Map orientation** +
-    * **No rotation** //(The map does not rotate. North is at the top.)// +
-    * **Movement direction 2D** //(The map rotates. Drive in the direction of the top.)// +
-    * **Movement direction 3D** //(The map rotates. Drive in the direction of the top.)// +
-    * **Route overview** //(Distance from current location to destination is displayed. North at the top.)// +
- +
-When driving, one usually uses the navigation without map rotation (No rotation) or with map rotation (Movement direction 2D, Movement direction 3D).\\ +
-If one then wants to have an overview of the remaining route, this is selectable in this dialog with the option ''**Route overview**''. +
- +
-To switch from route overview back to navigation with larger zoom or auto-zoom touch the compass button again and select option ''**No rotation**'' or ''**Movement direction 2D**'' or ''**Movement direction 3D**''. +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Rerouting, Route recalculation ===== +
- +
-Rerouting is route recalculation when leaving a route. It is a special function of route calculation.\\ +
- +
-This function is automatically active or not, depending on the setting, when you leave the current route.\\ +
-//(See below "Switching on / off automatic rerouting" at "Settings, dialogs for affecting rerouting".)//\\ +
- +
-Rerouting calculates the route segment from the current location to a point on the current route selected in the "Navigation type" (previously: "Rerouting mode") settings. If this point is not the destination, the route from this point then follows the original route to the destination.\\ +
-//(See below "Navigation type" at "Settings, dialogs for affecting rerouting".)//\\  +
- +
-Rerouting can take place online or offline. The selection takes place in the settings Routing service.\\ +
-//(See below "Routing-Service" bei "Settings, dialogs for affecting rerouting")\\ +
-For online operation, the Kurviger route options are taken into account for rerouting; for offline operation, the "Fastest route" route type is used//. +
- +
-If rerouting is not started automatically, a warning symbol ''**Off route**'' is displayed when leaving the route. Rerouting can then be started manually.\\ +
-//(See below "Off Route, Rerouting trigger manually")// +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-Due to new findings and / or suggestions in the forum, there may be changes here from time to time.\\  +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Settings, dialogs for affecting rerouting ==== +
- +
-=== Switching on / off automatic rerouting === +
- +
-When leaving the current route, there is a possibility of automatic rerouting from the current location to a point on the current route selected in the Navigation type (previously: Rerouting mode). If the (automatic) rerouting is switched off, a warning symbol is displayed and you can start the route recalculation manually. +
- +
-Automatic rerouting is turned on or off as follows: +
- +
-**Variant A: In settings** +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Rerouting (Pro) [_]**'' +
- +
-**Variant B: During navigation Quick access by touching the "Direction" panel** +
- +
-  * ''**Direction** panel'' > +
- +
-Dialog opens, Title: **Navigation** +
- +
-  * **[_] Rerouting** +
- +
-Enable or disable automatic rerouting during navigation. Change is applied to the settings.\\ +
-See also above "Quick access: Open navigation dialog for actions" +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-In the forum, some users of the app recommend not switching on automatic rerouting. This can avoid unnecessary rerouting when leaving the route. If necessary, rerouting can then be started manually (see Off Route).\\ +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-=== Navigation type === +
- +
-The Navigation type (previously: Rerouting mode) e.g. defines to which point of the current route the route recalculation should be calculated from the current location. The setting is taken into account for automatically and manually started route recalculation.\\  +
- +
-Open the corresponding dialog: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Navigation type (Pro)**'' > +
-Dialog for selecting the navigation type opens. The following is available for selection:\\ +
-  * **Nearest waypoint**  //(Unvisited waypoint with shortest distance bee line from the current location.)// +
-  * **Next waypoint**  //(Unvisited waypoint in the direction of the route from the current location.)// +
-  * **Strict navigation** //(Waypoints are traveled in their order. When leaving the route, the following waypoint is taken into account for the route recalculation).// +
- +
----- +
- +
-=== Routing service === +
- +
-Route calculation (routing) and / or route recalculation (rerouting) can take place in different ways. For this purpose, one can select a routing service. The following applies to the routing service: +
-  * **Kurviger** //(Route calculation by Kurviger, the Kurviger route options and avoidances are taken into account)// +
-  * **BRouter** //(Route calculation by BRouter, BRouter app must be installed, by default only option "Fastest route" possible, turn instructions can differ from turn instrucctions created with Kurviger online)// +
- +
-When selecting the routing service, online and offline operation is also taken into account: +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Route service (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-Dialog for selecting the routing service Online and / or Offline opens.\\ +
-  * **Kurviger (online)** //(Kurviger route calculation is only possible with internet connection.)// +
-  * **Kurviger (online) / BRouter (offline)** //(As long as internet connection is available, Kurviger is used. If there is no internet connection, BRouter is used.)// +
-  * **BRouter (offline)** //(With and without internet connection BRouter is used. Restrictions see above.)// +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-When selecting an offline routing service, the associated offline routing data of the corresponding area must be saved in the device (See below at "Offline routing").\\ +
-To be able to use the Kurviger route options, Internet connection should always be available for routing and / or rerouting and the routing service "Kurviger (online)" should be considered in the selection.\\ +
-The option ""Kurviger (Online), BRouter (Offline)"" can cause problems with rerouting if the Internet connection is weak. Especially with automatic rerouting!\\ +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Off Route, Rerouting trigger manually ===== +
- +
-When automatic rerouting is switched off, the navigation interface changes when you exit the route. Instead of turn instruction, an arrow indicates the direction and distance of the bee line from the location to the point selected in navigation type. Instruction, distance and time panels show no values. Warning sign "Off route" is displayed. When Auto Zoom is on, the zoom level goes to the value of the Zoom Level Off Route setting (see Zoom, Auto Zoom). +
- +
-Rerouting can be started manually. +
- +

-You can find more information about the route linked [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]. +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Start rerouting manually ==== +
- +
-There are 2 conditions where the ''**Off Route**'' symbol is displayed and rerouting must / can be started manually. +
- +
-**Condition A: When starting navigation you are off route** +
- +
-By touching the ''**Off route**'' symbol you have to open a dialog to select the entry point to the route, to start rerouting and to start navigation: +
-  * ''**Off route** symbol'' >  +
-Dialog for selecting the route entry is opened. The following can be selected as the entry point\\ +
-  * **Start** +
-  * **Nearest waypoint** +
-  * **CANCEL** //(Without rerouting then you can drive to the route e.g. in Follow-mode)// +
-Depending on selection, the route recalculation is started, the current route is displayed and navigation is started. +
- +
-**Condition B: You deviate from the route** +
- +
-By touching the ''**Off route**'' symbol you can start rerouting: +
-  * ''**Off route** symbol'' >  +
-The rerouting from the location to the set re-entry point is executed, the current route from the location is displayed and navigation is continued.\\ +
- +
-You can set the re-entry point under +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**''  > ''**Navigation type**'' > +
-See above at "Navigation type". +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Quick access: Open navigation dialog for actions ===== +
- +
-During navigation you can open a dialog for distinctive navigation actions. +
- +
-  * ''**Direction** panel'' >  +
- +
-Dialog opens, Title: **Navigation** +
- +
-  * **[_] Rerouting** //(Enable or disable automatic route recalculation. The change is applied to the settings.)// +

-Select the desired action. If the dialog is not closed automatically, confirm with "OK". +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Avoid roadblock ===== +
- +
-When you are on the route, you have the possibility to avoid route sections with roadblocks. On the current route, the route section following the location in the route is replaced by an alternative and a route is calculated from the location with the service selected in the routing service, taking into account the remaining waypoints. The properties of the corresponding routing service are taken into account.\\ +

-===== Zoom, Auto zoom ===== +
- +
-**Zoom:** +
- +
-The Kurviger app is used on a wide range of devices with screens from about 4 inches to about 10 inches. Depending on the user, more or less of the map or route should be visible.  +
- +
-For example, you can use the zoom buttons to zoom more or less into or out of the map. The corresponding zoom level can be made visible by a value or can be predefined. +
- +
-Depending on the zoom level, more or less roads, POIs, details are displayed or not.  The higher the zoom level, the more accurate details are displayed. +
-  +
-**Auto-Zoom** +
- +
-For navigation, you can switch auto zoom on or off. With auto zoom, depending on the setting, the zoom is changed depending on distance or speed when approaching instruction points. This happens within certain limits, which can be set by minimum and maximum values. If you deviate from the route, a special zoom value can also be set for this. +
- +
-Due to the different devices and user preferences, the values are adjustable! +
- +
-**Recommendations for finding suitable settings for auto zoom:** +
- +
-  * Due to the different devices and user preferences, no general recommendation is possible except for the basic setting. If this does not fit, determine settings by trial and error. +
- +
-Preparation: +
- +
-  * Set the zoom level display (the map scale) to "Advanced" (see below). +
-  * At first don't modify the auto-zoom settings. +
-  * At Auto zoom  switch on "Navigation" (see below). +
-  * Set the auto zoom mode to "Distance" (see below). +
-  * Set the auto zoom scale to "100%" (see below). +
-  * Route recalculation (see above) must be switched off! +
- +
-Test route: +
- +
-  * Create a test route with at least one turn point and a free stretch of about 1 to 2 km. This route should have little traffic, so that it can be driven along easily (at low speed) and also left sometimes, and it should also be possible to stop without danger. +
- +
-Try out test route in navi simulation mode: +
- +
-  * Set the navigation mode to "Simulation" (see below at Navi Simulation Mode) +
-  * Run this route in navi simulation mode (see below) and observe the map display on the open road and when approaching the turn point.The respective zoom level can be read easily when the simulation is stopped (via Start/Stop play panel). +
-  * Check if the settings on the existing device match your preferences. +
-  * If you want to make changes, then change the values of the Minimum and / or Maximum zoom level step by step if necessary. +
- +
-Try out test route and off route in Navi mode: +
- +
-  * Set the navigation mode to "Normal" (see above at Navi mode) +
-  * Drive this route in navi mode (see above) at low speed and observe the traffic and the map display on the open road and when approaching the turn point. When leaving the route, the behavior of the display can be observed off the route. The respective zoom level can be read easily when stopping at a safe place. +
-  * Check if the settings on the existing device match your preferences. +
-  * If you want to make changes, then change the values of the Minimum and / or Maximum zoom level step by step if necessary. Also adjust the Off route zoom level. +
- +
-If necessary, adjust auto zoom scale and/or auto zoom mode: +
- +
-  * If these values are what you want, adjust the auto zoom scale if necessary. +
-  * By user request, the speed-dependent auto-zoom has been added. If necessary, you can also select this auto zoom mode. You may then have to adjust your zoom levels again.  With distance-dependent auto zoom, you've learned about auto zoom in a simple way. Speed-dependent adjustment can be more problematic. +
- +
----- +
- +
-**Zoom level display** +
- +
-You can select the zoom level display with the map scale setting: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Map**'' > ''**Map scale**'' > +
-Selectable is: +
-  * **Normal** //(Shows the map scale, shows the zoom level at the zoom buttons)//\\ +
-  * **Advanced** //(Also shows the zoom level in the advanced map scale)//\\ +
-  * **Off** //(Does not show map scale, shows zoom level at zoom buttons)//\\ +

- +
-===== Speed limit ===== +
- +
-In navigation mode, a speed limit can be displayed on the route. In addition, a tolerance can be taken into account. If the speed limit with tolerance is exceeded, a warning is then displayed. Off the route this is not possible! +
- +
-**Switching the speed limit display on/off:** +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Speed limit (Pro) [_]**''  +
- +

- +
-====== Navi Simulation Mode using ====== +
- +
-With the navi-simulation you can run a route automatically in the app **Kurviger Pro**. This gives you an impression of the associated directions in graphical and, depending on the setting, also in voice form.\\  +
-You can also run the simulation faster than calculated. The time data will not be changed by this.\\  +
- +
-One also has the possibility to jump forward or backward around a turn point. This function is good for checking the route, because you can easily see the turn instructions and depending on the zoom the route course at the turn points.\\ +
- +
-To be able to use the navi simulation, the navi simulation mode must be activated beforehand. You select the navi simulation mode with +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Navigation**'' > ''**Navigation mode (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-Dialog opens.  +

-====== GPS logging mode and related actions ====== +
- +
-GPS recording, track recording or GPS logging are different names for the same action. In order to make a recording of the track to be driven in the app **Kurviger Pro**, you must first switch on the corresponding mode. A recorded track can be displayed on the map.\\ +
- +
-**Switch on / off the view of the recorded track in the map:** +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**GPS logging (Pro)**'' > ''**Map (Pro) [_]**''\\ +

- +
-There are four different states (recognizable by the recording symbol and display value) and corresponding actions. Depending on the state, recording is started or stopped directly or a dialog for starting or stopping recording is opened (see also tabs above at "States of the GPS logging panel and recording" and "Possible actions when touching the GPS logging panel and the associated dialog selection"). +
- +
- +
-**Saving the GPS recording** +
- +
-Touch GPS logging panel for any length of time: +
-  * ''**GPS logging** panel'' > +
- +
-If a recording is available, a dialog for saving the recording will be opened. +
-  * Select the corresponding action in the dialog +
-The Android storage access framework will open. In it, you can save the desired gpx file in the folder of your choice.\\ +
-The name of the file is automatically a timestamp. You can rename it in the Android storage access framework before saving or later in the file browser of your device.\\ +
- +
-  * **ATTENTION! When changing the file name in the input field DO NOT OVERWRITE THE FILE EXTENSION (e.g. .gpx). The file extension must be preserved!** +
- +
-See also "Android storage access framework" in the "User interface, ..." topic in "Additional topics of the operating guide", Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]. +
- +
-It makes sense to include a reference to the track (e.g. tr, trk, tk) in the file names of such *.gpx files (examples: tr_test.gpx, test_trk.gpx). This way you can easily distinguish track files from route files in *.gpx format.\\ +
- +
-When saving, the recording is not deleted. The recording must be deleted separately if required. +
- +
- +
-**Delete the GPS recording:** +
- +

- +
-**Start new segment:** +
- +
-Segment? A segment is a "block" in which the recording data is "collected". Normally such a block begins with the start of a recording and is terminated with the end of a recording. Segments enable e.g. with some track viewing or evaluation programs different display.\\ +
- +
-During a recording, such a segment or block is open for the collection of the recording data. For example, you want to end the segment or block at an intermediate destination without ending the recording and continue the recording with a new segment or block after the intermediate destination. For this purpose there is the action "Start new segment".  +
- +
-Touch GPS logging panel for any length of time: +
-  * ''**GPS logging** panel'' > +
-If there is an existing recording, a dialog for creating a new segment will be opened. +
-  * Select the corresponding action in the dialog +
-The recording continues with a new segment. +
- +
- +
-**Import the track of a GPX file:** +
- +
-A track from a GPX file can be added to the recorded tracks. To do this, the GPX file must be imported as follows: +
- +
-GPS-Logging-Panel beliebig lang berühren: +
-  * ''**GPS-Logging** Panel'' > +
-If there is an existing recording, a dialog for importing a GPX track will be opened. +

-To be able to operate the app again, the screen lock must be switched off beforehand.\\ +
- +
-The screen lock is switched off via the device. +
- +
-Switch off the display lock: +
-  * Open notifications of the device (swipe down from the top edge) //(This is possible when the screen lock is switched on!)// +
-  * Tap notification regarding screen lock +
-Now the screen lock has been removed again. The Kurviger app can be operated as usual again.  +
- +
----- +

- +
-====== More ====== +
- +
-In the app **Kurviger Pro** you have more possibilities than in the app **Kurviger** (Free). You can influence the address search by choosing options. In case of route, you can customize the calculation and appearance with additional settings. +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Select provider for address lookup ===== +
- +
-In **Kurviger Pro** you can change the provider of the address search. Open the corresponding dialog with : +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Address lookup provider**'' > +
-In the dialog that opens, you can then choose a provider. +
- +
-//Note:\\  +
-OpenCageData offers the lookup for the locality of UK postal codes.\\ +
-The address lookup itself is only possible with an Internet connection.\\ +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Route: Strength of avoidances  ===== +
- +
-In Kurviger Pro, for the selected avoidances, their strength can be set. This is possible in the options of the overall route. +
- +
-Open the dialog for the whole route with +
-  * ''**Route** //**(Long)**//'' > ''**Options**'' > +
- +
-The options can be preset. The previous route calculation was done with the information of the original preset. You open the corresponding dialog with +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Options**'' > +
- +
-In both cases a dialog opens. In the dialog is a selection element to choose the route profile and some road types or ferries to mark for avoidance.  +
- +
-|{{:app:manual:op_app_051.png?140|}} |**Routing options dialog** || +
-|::: |1) |Route profile selection element | +
-|::: |::: |Touch the arrow symbol to expand and select the desired profile. | +
-|::: |2) |Sections to be avoided | +
-|::: |::: |Mark the corresponding road types | +
-|::: |3) |Select ''**CANCEL**'' or confirm with ''**OK**''. | +
-|::: |4) |Strength of avoidances //(only in PRO) (without fig.)// | +
- +
-The strength of the avoidances can influence the route calculation and the resulting route. The default strength is marked with an asterisk (*). The higher the strength number, the more the selected avoidance is taken into account. +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-The advantages of this feature can most likely not be used directly on the target device or target software in case of route transfer without *.kurviger format. +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Route: Route profile of individual segment  ===== +
- +
-You can change the course of a route segment according to your requirements. For this for the route segment you can select a route profile different to the route profile of the whole route (Example: Overall route "Extra curvy route", segments for outward and return journey "Fastest route"). +
- +
-There is a dialog for selecting the route profile of an individual route segment: +
-  * Title: Segment profile +
-  * **o Fastest route** //(A lot of motorway and main roads)// +
-  * **o Fast and curvy route** //(Few curves and small detours. Large parts of the route can be on the motorway.)// +
-  * **o Curvy route** //(Prefer curves and mountains. Avoid cities and highways.)// +
-  * **o Extra curvy route** //(Strongly prefer curves and mountains. May generate significant detours.)// +
-  * **o None** //(No profile deviating from the overall route.)// +
-  * **CANCEL** +
- +
-You can open the dialog as follows: +
- +
-**Variant A: Route menu** +
-  * ''**Route**'' > ''**Segment profile**'' > +
-   +
-**Variant B: Waypoint menu** +
-  * ''**Wegpunkt**'' > ''**Segment profile**'' > +
- +
-**Variant C: Waypoints list** +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Waypoints**'' > ''**Segment profile**'' > +
- +
-After selection, online route calculation determines the route taking into account the selected segment profile. +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-The advantages of this feature can most likely not be used directly on the target device or target software in case of route transfer without *.kurviger format. +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Route: Route profile color  ===== +
- +
-In Kurviger Pro, the route color can be selected in the settings and, in addition, a separate route profile color can be selected for each of the different route profiles. +
- +
-For example, the route color is displayed in Navigation mode, and the selected route profile colors are displayed in Planning mode. +
- +
-The respective route profile color can be selected in the settings: +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Fastest route (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Fast and curvy route (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Curvy route (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-  * ''**Menu** Button'' > ''**Settings**'' > ''**Routing**'' > ''**Extra curvy route (Pro)**'' > +
- +
-First work with the basic setting. Then, if necessary, adjust the settings step by step to personal preferences. +
- +

- +
-====== Online use, Offline use (in Kurviger Pro) ====== +
- +
-When using a smartphone or tablet without a SIM card, you usually do not have an Internet connection while driving. However, there are ways to establish an Internet connection of the device without SIM card via devices with SIM card.\\ +
-This description does not distinguish whether the device is operated with or without a SIM card, but whether the app is operated with or without an Internet connection.\\ +
- +
-There may be no Internet coverage in certain areas due to poor network.\\ +
- +
-When the app is operated with an Internet connection, it is referred to as online operation; operation without an Internet connection is offline operation. +
- +
-If there is no internet connection, some functions of the app are missing or there may be problems that do not exist with an internet connection. The following things, for example, no longer work or do not work to their full extent: +
-  * Online map display (limited, previously shown maps are mostly still available) +
-  * Hillshading (limited, previously shown mountains are sometimes still available) +
-  * Online route calculation with the Kurviger route options (not possible) +
-  * Address lookup (not possible) +
-With the above restrictions, even the Follow and Navi modes can be used without an Internet connection while driving. Thereby 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 required. An overlay (e.g. track from a *.kurviger or *.gpx file) can be imported and displayed without an internet connection. +
- +
-In offline mode Kurviger Pro offers the following: +
- +
-  * **Display of offline maps.** +
-    * To do this, the offline maps of the desired area must first be saved in the device (internally or SD card) and opened in the app. +
- +
-  * **Offline routing or offline rerouting**.  +
-    * For this purpose, the offline routing data delivered by the routing service of the desired area must first be saved in the device (internally or SD card). +
-    * The Kurviger routing options cannot be used. Routes calculated offline can therefore deviate significantly from routes calculated online. +
- +
-Offline maps and offline routing data are in different files! To use both, one must open the associated files stored in the device in the associated app for both for the desired area! (See below) +
- +
-**Offline Address lookup is not possible.**  +
- +
----- +
- +
-====== Offline use ====== +
- +
-In **Kurviger Pro**, several things are available for using the app without an Internet connection. This part of the user manual describes these things. +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Offline files ===== +
- +
-^Files in Kurviger (App and Web) for Route transfer and backup ^^ +
-^Route files |In Kurviger (App and Web) routes can be exchanged (imported, exported) with route files. The *.kurviger file format is recommended for exchange in Kurviger (app and web). | +
-^::: |For exchange (e.g. on the internet, other apps or devices) other file formats (e.g. *.gpx, *.itn, *.kml) can be used. | +
-^::: |Route files are only used to exchange or save routes. | +
-^Files for offline use in Kurviger Pro || +
-^Map files |In the app **Kurviger Pro** map files for desired areas can be downloaded from the Kurviger website, stored in the device (internal or SD card) and opened in the app. | +
-^::: |The map files opened in the Kurviger Pro app are used with and without an Internet connection for the map display of the area in question. | +
-^::: |Map files are only used to display maps and POIs contained therein! | +
-^::: |The Kurviger offline map files are updated approximately monthly. | +
-^Routing files |In the **Kurviger Pro** app offline only can be accessed to offline routing with the BRouter routing service and its routing data (and files). With the BRouter routing service, the BRouter app must also be used to download the associated routing files and to calculate the route. | +
-^::: |If route calculation in the app takes place only with internet connection, the online routing data is accessed and you don't have to use routing files! | +
-^::: |Routing files are only used for route calculation or route recalculation! | +
-^::: |The Kurviger offline routing files are updated within a few days. | +
-|If only online maps and online routing are used, no special measures are required from the app user. Access to the corresponding data is then automatic if an Internet connection is available. If there is no Internet connection, the map area without data cannot be displayed; if there is no routing data, a corresponding message is displayed. || +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Offline maps ===== +
- +
-With offline maps for the desired area opened in the **Kurviger Pro** app, the corresponding area can be displayed in the app without an Internet connection.  +
- +
-In order to open the offline maps in the app (see below "Open, show offline maps"), they must first be downloaded from the Kurviger website with an internet connection and saved in the device (internally or SD card)  (see below "Offline maps download"). +
- +
-In the Kurviger website, the offline maps are updated approximately every month or every 2nd month. The current maps for the desired areas must be manually downloaded from the website and stored in the device.    +
- +
-With large map files, there may be problems when downloading with the smartphone depending on the browser. Possibly choose another browser or download the maps with the PC and then transfer them to the device. +
- +
-If you have several offline maps open, you may have the following display problems, for example:  +
-  * In the area of touching or overlapping maps, the water areas of lakes are sometimes not displayed +
-  * In the area of touching or overlapping maps, country borders are sometimes not displayed depending on the zoom level +
-If possible, use larger map networks instead of individual maps (e.g. for the water area of Lake Constance open the map "DACH" instead of maps "Baden-Württemberg" and "Alps").\\ +
- +
-Consider: **Downloaded or opened offline maps do not affect the route calculation. Different data and files are used for route calculation than for map display.** Older maps can lead to differences between map display and real road course and the turn instructions (e.g. at traffic circles instead of crossings).\\ +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Offline maps download ==== +
- +
-Download the offline maps in the app: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Map**'' > ''**Download maps**'' > +
-Browser mit Verzeichnis der Kurviger Offline Maps wird geöffnet.\\ +
-  * Select and download the desired map(s). +
-    * If you have more than one map, you may need to select and download each one separately +
- * when all desired maps are downloaded close browser +
-  * Downloaded map(s) are in the download folder of the device (for the test device, may be different depending on the device) +
-  * Move downloaded map(s) to a folder of your choice outside the app using any file browser, if necessary  +
- +
-Detailed illustrated instructions see ""Offline-Karten" at "Quick access to further information:" (Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Open, show offline maps ==== +
- +
-Open the offline maps in the app: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Map**'' > ''**Open maps**'' > +
-Dialog opens +
-  * Open maps //(Previously displayed offline map(s) are replaced by newly selected offline map(s))// +
-  * Add maps //(Selected maps are added to the previous displayed maps)//  +
-Android storage access framework opens.  +
-  * Select the desired folder. +
-  * Select the desired map(s). +
-  * confirm with "OPEN" +
-The opened offline maps are displayed +
-  * A list of opened offline maps can be displayed with: +
-  * ''**Menu** button'' > ''**Tools**'' > ''**Info**'' > +
- +
-Detailed illustrated instructions see ""Offline Maps" at "Quick access to further information:" (Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). +
- +
----- +
- +
-===== Offline routing ===== +
- +
-Offline routing is currently only possible in **Kurviger Pro** with the **BRouter** routing service. +
- +
-Kurviger offers several options in the settings to select from Routing services for online and offline operation. +
- +
-**The BRouter service requires the BRouter app to be installed.** The associated offline routing data is maintained by BRouter and downloaded with the BRouter app app. +
- +
-The actual routing data of the desired service for the desired areas must be downloaded manually from the Internet and stored in the device.    +
- +
-The data can be downloaded and saved directly with the smartphone. +
- +
-Detailed illustrated instructions see "Offline routing" at "Quick access to further information:" (Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). +
- +
-In offline routing, the Kurviger routing options cannot be taken into account. By default, only "Fastest route" is taken into account as the route type. This can lead to a route that deviates considerably from the route originally calculated online if the same waypoints are used in offline routing!\\ +
-Depending on the location and set waypoints, this can lead to undesired results of the remaining route when routing offline (e.g. avoid roadblock or skip next waypoint).\\ +
-In such a case it is advantageous to have the original route saved as a .kurviger file in the device. This file can then be loaded as an overlay. By setting waypoints along the track, you can then calculate the remaining distance of the original route offline and navigate along this route.\\ +
- +
-Consider: **The downloaded offline routing data is completely independent from the downloaded and / or opened offline maps.** +
- +
-//Note:\\ +
-The offline route calculation with BRouter does not offer all options of the Kurviger online route calculation!\\  +
-Offline rerouting is therefore not intended for general route planning. It is intended for rerouting, e.g. when deviating from the route (as in the case of detours or when consciously or unconsciously deviating from the original route), if no Internet connection is available.\\  +
-Users who are very familiar with [[http://www.brouter.de/brouter/index.html|BRouter]] can possibly achieve a route similar to Kurviger by specifying customized profiles (not explained in detail, without recommendation, without guarantee). +
-// +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Offline routing data download ==== +
- +
-For the offline routing service (BRouter), the associated routing data for the app must be downloaded.\\ +
- +
-**For routing service BRouter (offline):**\\ +
- +
-Download of offline routing data: +
-  * **Start BRouter app when connected to the Internet** +
-  * In the opened dialog "Select Main Action"//(only displayed with internet connection):// +
-    * **Download Manager** selecting +
-    * if a message with "I know" and "Cancel" is shown, please tap **I know** +
-  * BRouter map selection window opens +
-    * **Select required map areas** //(areas are marked with a thin **grid in green**, to select / deselect / delete touch briefly until respective color change corresponds to desired action)// +
-    * color coding of selected areas and associated action: +
-      * **black crossed square** //(Area is already present in app, outdated, to update tap area for color change)// +
-      * **blue crossed square** //(Area is already available in app, actual)// +
-      * **green crossed square** //(New area selected for download)// +
-      * **yellow crossed square** //(Existing range selected for download, update old data)// +
-      * **red crossed square** //(Existing area is deleted in app)// +
-    * After selecting the areas: +
-    * **Download** touching to start action (or touching Delete, depending on selection) //(bottom right)//.   +
-For the selected map areas, the routing data is updated in the app. +
- +
-**The BRouter app can be closed, but must remain installed for the use of offline rerouting or offline routing with routing service BRouter (offline).** +
- +
-The data can then be used in Kurviger Pro for offline rerouting or offline routing with the appropriate selection of routing service. +
- +
-Detailed illustrated instructions see "Offline-Routing" at "Quick access to further information:" (Link [[app:manual:pro#Links|at the end of the page]]). +
