+ | ===== Exchange from Google Maps (GMaps) to Kurviger ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All the following steps were tested on an Android 6 smartphone (internet connection necessary): | ||
+ | |||
+ | Preparation: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Create a route by GMaps (in Browser or Android App). | ||
+ | |||
+ | __GMaps Browser Version: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Open "3 bar menu" in the upper left corner. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Click on "Share or embed map" and then on "Copy link" | ||

+ | 6. The gpx will be created and downloaded to the PC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. Open this GPX file in Kurviger Browser version as usual via " | ||
+ | |||
+ | __GMaps Android App Version: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. The gpx will be created and downloaded automatically to the smartphone, and at least my Android offers instantly after download to open the downloaded file (some seconds at the bottom of the screen), so just click on the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. The gpx will be opened as new route in Kurviger App. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Exchange from Kurviger to Google Maps (GMaps)===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure vice versa (Kurviger > Maps) means showing a Kurviger route via GPX in GMaps for several purposes like quickly getting to the starting point of a Kurviger route: | ||
+ | |||
+ | IMPORTANT: Beginning steps (1-13) | ||
+ | __[there is no way to " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Export a Kurviger route as GPX, check " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Open GMaps in browser. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Open GMaps Menu (3 bars in the upper left corner). | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. Open "Your Places" | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5. Open " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. Open " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 7. Open " | ||

+ | |||
+ | 9. Kurviger Route will be shown in GMaps. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you may: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 10. Click on the starting point of the shown Kurviger route. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 11. Click on the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | 12. Enter your real starting point, for example your home address. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 13. Now GMaps shows you a fast route to the starting point of your Kurviger route. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you may continue: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 14. Your new "New Places Map" is shown in Android GMaps too. You can long tap on the starting point of your Kurvinger route and GMaps will offer you one (or more) fast and direct navigation(s) to the starting point of your Kurvinger route (as in 13) (which indeed should be the same as shown in the browser version before, but perhaps completed with alternate routes like GMaps often does if possible). | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Supplement: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In GMaps app I store ready routes simply by the following steps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 15. In Navigation mode open the menu (3 dots in the upper right corner). | ||
+ | |||
+ | 16. Click on "Add route to Home screen" | ||
+ | |||
+ | 17. GMaps will confirm by a short screen message. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 18. Now a link symbol button to this specific route appears on the desktop, where it is to find again quickly everytime it is needed during travelling and a simple click on the symbol opens this route in GMaps directly and starts navigation mode - what can be done easily even while riding/ | ||
