[Android] Kurviger screen rotation reversed

Yesterday when starting route navigation on my horizontally (landscape orientation) mounted navigation tablet (T865X), the Kurviger navigation switched the screen orientation from horizontal to vertical by itself, instead of staying in horizontal mode. When stopping navigation, the screen would rotate back to landscape mode again by itself. This kept happening even after restarting the tablet, and closing and reopening Kurviger.

To be clear: the bike was upright and the tablet was horizontally mounted. When closing Kurviger, all the other apps and the homescreen was still in horizontal mode; it was only Kurviger that was rotating.

When attempting to repeat this back at home off the bike, it no longer does this automatically. I did notice that when I mount the tablet (horizontally), the icon to rotate the screen appears in the lower left corner: see picture below. When rotating the tablet to the vertical position, the icon goes away.

In my opinion, this suggests that Kurviger thinks that the navigation on the tablet when it is in horizontal orientation, should be displayed vertically and vise versa. In other words: it suggests the exact opposite of what screen orientation it should be in.

Auto-rotate on the tablet was turned on. Turning this off didn’t affect the problem described above.

When mounting the tablet to the bike again, the auto rotation problem didn’t occur, but it still displayed the icon in the lower left corner.

Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

App version details are listed below the picture.

I instantly recognize this device again. We had reports about a wrong orientation reading of this device before. It is interesting to see that this still exists.

Thanks for reporting that this issue still exists, we will have another look.
