 ====== Best Practices when Transferring Routes ====== ====== Best Practices when Transferring Routes ======
  
-When transferring a route, it is important to understand that every navigation system uses different road data and different algorithms to calculate a route. This can lead to different results when transferring a route from Kurviger to a different system, like Garmin or Tom Tom. Even when you stay within the Kurviger universe, if you use different route options or try the same route after some times has passed, it is possible that the route is not the same again. Over the time, some roads are closed due to construction, other roads are build, and the road network changes.+When transferring a route, it is important to understand that every navigation system uses different road data and different algorithms to calculate a route.

Over the time, some roads are closed due to construction, other roads are build, and the road network changes. When you use BRouter to recalculate a route, the results can also differ.
  
 If you want to make sure that a route stays as closely as possible to your originally planned route, here are some best practices that you can follow. If you want to make sure that a route stays as closely as possible to your originally planned route, here are some best practices that you can follow.

   - You can use the feature "Snap every waypoint to the closest street". This moves your waypoints onto the actual street and avoids that your navi might use the wrong road.   - You can use the feature "Snap every waypoint to the closest street".

   - Check which roads Kurviger is using. If you are a [[web:kurviger_tourer|]], you can also see more details about the road and can identify potentially closed roads or unpaved roads. You can place additional shaping points to change your route.   - Check which roads Kurviger is using.

   - You can check where Kurviger is turning by showing the turn instructions on the map. This can help to identify critical points along the route.   - You can check where Kurviger is turning by showing the turn instructions on the map. This can help to identify critical points along the route.

-Now you have to transfer your route to your navigation device.When you load your route some navigation devices offer to show the track as an overlay, you can do this to see differences between your planned route. If this is not possible, you can compare the distance of the Kurviger route to your navi. If there are larger differences, something might be off.+Now you have to transfer your route to your navigation device.

If this is not possible, you can compare the distance of the Kurviger route to your navi. If there are larger differences, something might be off. In this case, we recommend a detailed check.
