Kurviger 2.0.14

Hi devemux

Thanks for the new 2.0 version. I also own the 1.x version and 2.0 is a major improvement already. I had also briefly tried a zumo 396 earlier this year but must say that I instantly hated the software. It was almost impossible to follow a pre-planned route (others seem to report similar problems). I ended up selling my garmin again. Absolutely no comparison to kurviger.

That being said, I’d also like to make a few suggestions for improvement. I found myself using the app more and more for planning as well. So here are some ideas:

  1. Undo/Redo stack. It would be nice to undo a deleted waypoint (the workaround is to export after every modification)
  2. Allow to display the distance between the current position and an existing waypoint.
  3. Allow to set a new starting point and discard all previous waypoints/shaping points in one go.
  4. Make the overlayed tracks persistent. Currently, every time kurviger terminates (i.e. when moved to the background) any loaded overlay is gone.

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the kind words and your support!

  1. See a related feature discussion here.

  2. There is a feature discussion for split routes on the app too.

For the other suggestions, we must think about their need vs implementation / maintenance.

(when you put the app in the background, the app is not terminated, unless Android closes it)

I see. Yes, that is related but is slightly different (more) to what I had in mind. I would - in fact - only need this info in planning mode, i.e. when the navigation is stopped or paused. Just to estimate where to plan for any future stops. I won’t need a constantly updating distance of several POIs while navigating.

Currently, I actually use point (3) from my list above. During a break I usually move the starting point to my current location and remove all WPs behind. This will then update all WPs ahead accordingly. If we had a single action for this it would be great.

From my remaining two points I think an undo operation has already been requested by others as well. Again, it is useful for planning as it helps exploring various options more quickly.

Yes, probably Android closes it. Doesn’t happen everytime though.

Thanks,
Tom

Hey all, people mostly write when they have something to complain about. So I just wanted to say that I happily paid the 10 Eur for the yearly subscription. After I purchased Tourer.
Considering how much value you get and how well we were treated in the last several years, I think that it is only in our best interest to do anything in our power to keep this app going.

No other software costs as little as phone apps and this is one of the harder platforms to develop for. A thousand different models, constant changes in Android, outdated phones running archaic versions of the OS (Android 5 is how many years old now?) - the amount of time and hard work it takes to get it even remotely ‘right’ is staggering.

Much respect and keep going.

Hello, I have the following decision:

  • If I want to see the gas stations, hotels or restaurants on or near the route, I have to have the offline maps active.
    If I want to know the speed limits or have the application recalculate the curvy route, I have to do it with the online maps.
    Another functionality that I want to have in kurviger is to know the gas stations that are on the route that I have created.
    Will it be possible to have all this together?

Thanks.

P.S. It is the first time that I participate in the forum and I apologize if this is not the right place or ways.

The routing is not related with the displayed (online or offline) map.

The routes are calculated separately on the server or offline.

This may come in the future:

I was almost certain that I was not doing it correctly, but my English is very poor and dealing with the translator is not fluent.
I’m sorry for the mistake and will try to learn. Thanks.
