Kurviger for Apple CarPlay

Kurviger can also be used with CarPlay! This means you can navigate comfortably and safely with Kurviger even without a smartphone on the handlebar.

Please note: CarPlay does not support the full range of features offered by the Kurviger app. This is due to technical and design restrictions imposed by CarPlay. We make the best possible use of the available scope, but some features remain exclusive to the app.

To use Kurviger for CarPlay, connect your smartphone to your vehicle display and select the Kurviger app in the CarPlay user interface. Then you can start right away.

In principle, the operation on CarPlay is largely the same as in the Kurviger app. You will find the following functions there:

  • Navigate starts navigation for your loaded route (or, if no route is loaded, Follow starts the Follow mode)
  • You'll find the settings under the ⚙️ button
  • The four-way arrow puts your display in map movement mode
  • Crosshairs centers the map on your current location
  • + and zoom in and out of the map
  • (visible only while navigating) In the ⋮ menu, you'll find Navigation-Features.
  • (visible only during navigation) You can change the map orientation at any time by clicking the map orientation button in the upper-left corner.


If you want to plan or change a route, simply switch back to the Kurviger app.

  1. Open the Kurviger app on your smartphone
  2. Load the desired route (e.g., from the Kurviger Cloud)
  3. Open the app on your CarPlay display – this requires that your smartphone is connected to your CarPlay display/motorcycle.
  4. Tap on Navigate – and off you go!

During navigation, Kurviger also displays your speed and the speed limit on CarPlay.

Tip: Tapping the screen or pressing a button during navigation will bring up the menu and a button to skip the next waypoint.

In Follow Mode, the map continuously moves the map to follow your position.

  1. Simply delete the route from the map in the Kurviger app on your smartphone
  2. In CarPlay, tap Follow

You can pause or end navigation at any time using the menu on the CarPlay display.

In the settings⚙️, you can turn automatic recalculation, automatic recentering, and voice guidance on or off. You can also switch between the estimated time of arrival at your destination or via point on the navigation display and switch the map appearance between Light, Dark, and Automatic modes.

Just like in the Kurviger app, Kurviger on CarPlay also offers some helpful features for your trip. You can find them in the ⁝ menu while navigating.

  1. Select the Find gas station function in the menu. Kurviger will then show you gas stations along your route.
  2. Use the arrows right and left to select to select a gas station.
  3. Confirm your selection with the green Add to route button, and the gas station will be added to your route.

  1. Select the Skip waypoints function in the menu.
  2. Use the arrows right and left to select which of your waypoints you want to skip. The blue dotted line shows you which waypoint will be approached next.
  3. Confirm your selection with the green Skip button and the waypoints are skipped accordingly.

During navigation, you can switch between the Kurviger app on your smartphone and the CarPlay display:

  • Simply tap Switch to mobile on your smartphone
  • or Switch to CarPlay on the CarPlay display
