Basics about Kurviger

This topic describes different basic topics about Kurviger. If you are new to Kurviger and need some guidance, have a look at the getting started guide for the app and website.

Kurviger is designed to work on different platforms; website, Android, and iOS. All platforms provide the same curvy routes and flexible export options.

The basic features of Kurviger are all free. To access the full range of Kurviger's premium features on our website and our Android app or iOS-App, there are two different subscriptions available:
Kurviger Tourer offers advanced route planning features.
Kurviger Tourer+ offers a full motorcycle navigation system and all the features of Kurviger Tourer.

Find out more about our subscriptions and their premium features here.

Kurviger offers different modes. These are:

Routing: is the process of calculating a route - available on the website and in the app. Kurviger calculates a route using different route profiles (e.g., curvy or extra curvy), which you can change to your personal liking. The calculated route is shown as a line on the map.

Follow location: this mode moves the map continuously to follow your position - available on the website and in the app. Kurviger moves the map in a way, that your position and moving direction is shown. You can use this mode to follow a route, or to explore an area without a route, but to still see the upcoming curves and potential turn offs.

Navigation: this mode guides you along a preplanned route - works in the Tourer+ version of the app. You will receive turn-by-turn instructions for the planned route, both visual and voice guidance. When leaving the route the route is automatically recalculated to continue smoothly along the route. In the navigation mode, you are able to receive additional information, like your current speed, altitude, estimated to arrival or to the next waypoint.

You can find more details about these modes and how to use them in the app here.

The website needs an internet connection.

The app will need an internet connection to plan, change, or export a route. You can load pre planned routes in .kurviger format without internet connection. Loading overlays works without internet connectivity as well.

The Tourer+ version allows to load offline maps. This allows it to not require an internet connection during navigation (please note that recalculating a route still requires a working internet connection). If you use online maps, these will still require an internet connection.

This means that navigating and follow location both work without internet connection with the Tourer+ version and offline maps. Also see this entry for more information.
