I think Google / Maps already has a (nearly) perfect solution to search locations and special places (like restaurants, gas stations, shops, …). And we’re using smartphones, not a standalone navigation device (where searching POIs / locations has somehow a different significance).
So why not simply use Google?
In my opinion it would be better if the Kurviger app keeps its focus on routing/navigation, not on functions which are already very well covered by other solutions.
But of course it should be easy to integrate locations which were found by those other apps (like Google). Unfortunately if tapping the “share location” button in Google Maps, the Kurviger app doesn’t appear in the list of appropriate apps to share with. Don’t know why (maybe this could be changed some day).
But there’s a good workaround (at least if you’re using Android): install the app “Map Bookmark” (from Donut Pond) from the Play Store. Googles share function can use this app to share locations.
After “Map Bookmarks” opened a shared location, it automatically shows some location data and offers a list of applications to which it can send the locations coordinates. In this list the Kurviger app is now present and you’re able to open the found location in Kurviger. There you can then set this location as destination, integrate it in an existing route or save it as a personal boomark by using the context function for this location.
