 These cases could be, that Kurviger uses a road that is not accessible. Or maybe Kurviger won't use a Route, even though you know that the road is accessible. No matter how many waypoints you place along the road, Kurviger simply won't take the road. Maybe the turn instructions are incorrect, like a missing street name or maybe no turn instruction was given at all. These cases could be, that Kurviger uses a road that is not accessible.

-Usually, if Kurviger is behaving very weird, this is because there is an issue in the OSM data, obviously this is not always the case, but usually :). If you see such an issue, while planning a route, please help to improve the OSM data. OSM is [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/stats/data_stats.html|used by millions of people]], so you are not only supporting Kurviger but a lot of different projects. You can always let us know in our [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kurviger|forum]] and we will help you finding the reason for the incorrect results and can report a [[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes|note]] in OSM.+Usually, if Kurviger is behaving very weird, this is because there is an issue in the OSM data, obviously this is not always the case, but usually :).

 If you are wondering, why you are the first one to stumble over this issue, even though there are millions of users, this could be due to different reasons. First of all, the data is changing all the time, maybe somebody made a change that was not correct. Secondly, Kurviger prefers small roads, most routing software takes you along the highway or is only considering bike or foot routing, where access restrictions are different to motorcycles. Or maybe multiple users are suffering from this issue, but don't know how to solve the issue. We are here to help you! If you are wondering, why you are the first one to stumble over this issue, even though there are millions of users, this could be due to different reasons.

-We try to calculate a realistic ETA based on the available road data. In general our ETAs good enough for a rough orientation. We have seen issues with the ETA if the road data is insufficient. We rely on [[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed|max speed tags]] and other road information being present to estimate a realistic ETA. If there is not enough data, we try to estimate a realistic ETA, which might not always be possible. If you have seen cases where the ETAs are completely off, please feel free to contact us or to improve the OSM data. Please also be aware that travel times depend on the weather. A wet and muddy dirt road might slow you down considerably.+We try to calculate a realistic ETA based on the available road data. In general our ETAs should be good enough for a rough orientation. However, we have seen issues with the ETA if the road data is insufficient. We rely on [[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeed|max speed tags]] and other road information being present to estimate a realistic ETA. Another relevant tag for ETA calculation is the surface (see the section about unpaved). If there is not enough data, we try to estimate a realistic ETA, which might not always be possible. If you have seen cases where the ETAs are completely off, please feel free to contact us or to improve the OSM data. Please also be aware that travel times depend on the weather. A wet and muddy dirt road might slow you down considerably or might even force you to take an alternative route.
