Nice update - some observations from my side:

• When logged-in it would be nice to have quicker/easier access to the “Log out” button. Right now one has to select the “Profile” section and scroll down to access it. Suggestion: move the log out button right to the top, to the right of the profile picture/mail address (pic 1).
• In the “hamburger menu” left of the Kurviger-logo the “Tourer” link can easily be confused with the user’s status. I thought that my abotype was displayed incorrectly (“Tourer”, instead of “Tourer+”, which is also indicated in yellow) (pic 2).
• In the “hamburger menu” left of the Kurviger-logo a link to the forum is missing (pic 2).
• One wish in terms of usability of the cloud functions: when a route is selected in the cloud, I’d love to have the option to export it without the need of loading it first! I can imagine to offer this function in the existing dropdown-menu of the current selected route (pic 3).

Thanks for your efforts!

That was the map scale bottom left - and I miss it.

Please move it to the old position:

Hallo, kann es sein, das das nachladen der Karte aktuell noch etwas länger dauert?

Kurzes Feedback zur UI. Ich empfinde es als sehr schlüssig und intuitiv. Alle Punkte die man sucht (wie z.B. die Rundtour) sind dort wo man Sie suchen würde. Für mich alles richtig gemacht und eine sinnvolle Evolution

[rumbrummer]

I think that button is obsolete and can be removed:

I would do an additional step to reduce the number of clicks / taps when creating a new route:

• skip this view
  

  

• show crosshair combined with menu shown in post above instead

Remark: From my point of view the info displayed about the clicked point in map (address, coordinate) is useless in > 99% of clicked points.

You see and feel the benefit, if you create a route by just clicking roads on the map and add them to route - please compare doing this in K1 and K3 (demo website), K1 is much faster, more comfortable due to less clicks / taps.

Hi an alle,
ich freue mich schon auf die Bedienbarkeit der App im Querformat…
…eine Kleinigkeit, “Route bearbeiten” auch wenn die Benutzeroberfläche auf Englisch (falls noch nicht gemeldet…)

[boldtrn]

Thanks everyone for the feedback

@rumbrummer

K1 is much faster, more comfortable due to less clicks / taps.

In K1 and K3 it’s 3 clicks + moving the map for placing WPs, the only thing that requires you to swipe up are things like favorites, open in OSM, etc. So I am not sure I really follow your criticism here?

@zaphod_42

Please move it to the old position

Thanks we’ll have a look. It is still bottom left though - but I get that the “sidebar” can cover this now which is not ideal.

You are right - there are also 3 clicks in K1 (I mixed it up due to different order: In K1 you have to select the kind of waypoint before placing the crosshair).
But nevertheless needing only 2 clicks in K3 would improve / speed up:

• after long tap on map crosshair appears, and in parallel the 4 buttons (Start, ViaPoint, ShapingPoint, Destination) are shown in left panel
• then crosshair has to be placed and one of the 4 buttons can be tapped

There was (and perhaps still is, but I can not find it) a mode on the website, where I just had to do 1 click on a map point, and route was extended with that point as new destination - I really appreciated that, when I did the routing myself (via a paper map) and wanted to create an identical Kurviger route.
Of course 2 clicks are necessary, if the possibility to select waypoint type individually is given - as far as I remember even the waypoint type (Via or Shaping) of previous destination when extending via 1 click method could / can be configured.

Only for Website > Settings > “Place a new waypoint with a left click on the map” (on|off)
Alternatively you can hold Shift and left click.

[rumbrummer]

Thanks for the hint!

Interesting: Opening the website with Android tablet in Chrome that option is not available.
Only if I switch browser to desktop mode, that option is shown.

After switching to desktop mode there is no crosshair adjustment any more (which is useful, of course - using a mouse it is not needed).

Using a tablet holding Shift-key is not possible

[Toffel]

I think some options are limited between touch devices (Smartphones, Tablets) and PC-Browser, and the layout of tablets is considered nearer to smartphones than to PC-browser.

@rumbrummer

Remark: From my point of view the info displayed about the clicked point in map (address, coordinate) is useless in > 99% of clicked points.

I just copied the coordinate to ensure that start and destination are equal. Please do not consider to remove it due to cosmetic reasons (yes, it is just this last percent of clicked points, but I found no other way to access the coordinate, especially when I named the waypoint).

Why the hell would someone want to logout ??

[Toffel]

Minor. I would prefer “Abbrechen” and “Verschieben” with an “n” at the end, as “Abbrechen” is more general and “Verschiebe(!)” is a command.

[Toffel]

I make it separate, as I am sure this is the correct place, so you can move it.

In case I try to import a route, option “import as overlay” is set and all my 15 overlays are already used, I get a general error messaage. Perhaps there is a way to explain this condition better.

When I delete one overlay, the import is working fine.

@Patrick_Honorez

Why the hell would someone want to logout ??

Oh there could be plenty of reasons - in my case it’s about using my Kurviger account on a non-private device so I don’t want to give anybody the chance to mess up my cloud routes, favorites etc.

But nice that you care about why someone would want to use a feature…
