Due to the fact that the Kurviger app doesn’t provide offline routing yet, I have Sygic on my smartphone to serve as a fallback solution, if I need routing & navigation in an area without data connection (Murphy’s law: if you need a re-routing because of a detour in a somehow “complicated” environment, you won’t have a reliable data connection ).
This is how I transfer a route from Kurviger to Sygic:
export my current route in the Kurviger app as ITN
use the tool ITN2ITF to convert it into the Sygic format (works offline)
copy the ITF file to the shown folder using a file explorer (I use Solid Explorer with bookmarks for both the Kurviger an Sygic folder for a quick access)
open Sygic and choose your route from the favorites (maybe you have to restart Sygic so that it updates its favorites)
if done while somewhere on the route: adjust/delete the waypoint in Sygic to continue your route from the appropriate location
A minor update about Sygic, we are getting pretty close to adding the Sygic export. We had to do quite a lot of preparation in the background to make this possible, but now we are pretty close.
Also, there is an excel list to do the conversion manually, you can find it here. But probably ITN2ITF is the better option on an Android device.
Thanks for reporting this @Paddes. Could you provide some more information on what device you are using. I just tried it on Android with the latest Sygic and it worked.
The URL Scheme we use is also still in the Sygic docs, so it should work.
Thanks a lot for the clarification. I contacted Sygic, let’s find out if this is a bug with their app or if custom urls are not supported anymore.
If custom urls are not supported any more, we can change to the url format you provided - but since that is undocumented it could change any time, so I would prefer to stick with the official documented one
Thanks for catching this. To be honest, I don’t know why this happens, this seems to be an issue with Sygic app, I contacted their support about this. If you open the url on their website it shows up correctly. I can see why this happens, but it would be a rather complicated fix on our side.
In the meantime you can open the link in the browser and use the send to GPS feature on their website which should result in the correct route.
Hi!
I also have a sygic installation, but on android. For me, the export via this strange URL-format did never work. Sygic never took this files. I had to manage it with a few steps, ending up with an ITF file which has to be stored deep down in the structures of an android file system.
I would appreciate to have a shorter path in Kurviger, if possible.
The old solution should have worked before the “big Sygic update”. The new way should also work (Except for the via point ordering, that is currently messed up - see above for a workaround)
OK, thanks.
I’ve tried it again, none of my 2 phones opens or offers the sygic app for the link. Only klicking on the URL in PC-Browser brings me to the Sygic webplanner, where I can (again) send an email to me, with the route embedded. Now, opening this second mail on my phone, the button “start navigation” launches Sygic directly. This is annoying.
Sygic is my fallback, I buyed it when it seemed that the time for my old Tomtom was over. Thank god, I’m currently not forced to use a phone on my bike.
