Hallo Danke! Sehr guten Erklärung von @SchlesiM über den Sinn einer Simulation der Route. Jetzt kann auch ich etwas damit anfangen. Viele Grüße Basti ---

Hi, I’ve made several test yesterday. Thanks for all the improvements. I enjoyed the scale bar and the simulation. Great to adjust the zoom level. And of course the weather is shitty in the moment. The simulation works well for tests. And the smooth movements are looking great. Well done and many thanks. Nico ---

Unfortunately the smooth movement is not working fine for me because it is very lazy… even 100m after ta crossing the direction is still not turned completely. I am using a Galaxy S9 plus. ---

> [@Tom](#): > > even 100m after ta crossing the direction is still not turned completely Do you mean that map rotation is slow? What speed do you have when see a non expected smooth movement behavior? Smooth movement depends on GPS and is adjusted to the 1" interval which most GPS work. _Anyway I plan to introduce some timing improvements to cover if possible more devices._ ---

Yes, I mean the map rotation which is slow. I seldomly drive too slow, but normally after crossing the speed is not that high. I accelerate rather quick. The arrow at GPS posititon rotates quickly into the driven direction, but the map rotates very lazy afterwards. My settings in track recording are: 5sec interval, min. distance 10m, min. GPS accuracy 15m and min.speed 0 km/h, the GPS in the Galaxy Series is normally very precise. ---

> [@Tom](#): > > The arrow at GPS posititon rotates quickly into the driven direction, but the map rotates very lazy afterwards. In navigation there are two map / location rotation modes: - Map rotation off: map stays north up, location arrow rotates - Map rotation on: location arrow stays north up, map rotates So cannot have both with rotation, which one have you tried? > [@Tom](#): > > My settings in track recording are GPS logging is not related to navigation and smooth movement. When I mentioned [above](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/kurviger-1-11-2-beta/2417/25) about 1" interval, I meant the time interval that GPS sensor works internally with satellites to report location changes to device. ---

> [@Tom](#): > > I think I have map rotation on. Where do I find it in the settings menu? It’s in “Settings | Navigation | Map rotation”. And can be controlled inside navigation if tap compass.

Yes this is active. Today I had another road trip with smooth movement. It really rotates the map too lazy. Maybe it is a good idea to provide a slider or something like this to adapt the moving in order to optimize it. Don’t know who has requested this, but without this function it is working good for me. I have rather no need for such a function, but nevertheless would further test it. ---

> [@Tom](#): > > Don’t know who has requested this, but without this function it is working good for me. I have rather no need for such a function … Same with me - didn’t miss it. And for my opinion the arrow position is not as accurate as without smooth movement. So I’ll not use it. ---

[Smooth movement](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-smooth-movement/2450) has a prediction time set to 1 sec in accordance to common GPS update interval. So can never predict or animate location “wrong” longer than 1 sec. Can try to enable Kalman filter too and see how they work together. While may be improved in future, it’s optional for those who need it. ---

I’ve tested it today in my car. For a car it seems ok. It’s a bit slower in movements as my installed satnav. I believe for a motorbike it’s a bit to slow. As you mentioned everybody can switch this option on or off. I personally like it. Regards, Nico ---

> [@luckytown](#): > > Short question, what are the advantages of transparency for you? I tested it today and am undecided. Location rendering is designed with proper transparency where is needed. For routes or tracks, map labels are already on top, so I prefer solid colors. Still several would like to have less visible lines to see more of below map. ---
