Kurviger App Start

When I start the Kurviger app, it displays the map of Africa. It does not do me any good when I am in North America. Could you display a 200-mile radius around my last known location? It would make more sense.

I see the same behaviour on the Android and IOS app.

Hello, what happens when you click on the top button of the three blue ones? Does it then find your real position?

That worked, but I would suggest to display the area around my current location. It just one click less and you dont have to answer questions like mine. :slight_smile:

… Hello Tohau,
I have another point, as long I plan route’s far away I prefer the area I did my last routing planing. This works well today.
I think the solution in the moment works quite well.

Yes, this is how the app and website is structured. The last opened map area is opened again.

I have no complains regarding the website start. As a matter of fact, it makes more sense.

I am just saying that displaying the map of Africa on the IOS/Android app is pretty useless. Pressing the location button works for me as a workaround, but the location change (fly over) took between 5 and 6 seconds to change from the generic start map (displaying Europe and Africa) to my the current location. I assume this simulation is even worse the further you are way from Europe.

It is not a dealbreaker, but I am just pointing it out if you want to improve the mobile app efficiency.

Both the website and app work the same here. On your first start, we don’t know your location, so we can’t zoom to the location (we first need the users permission).

Once you moved the map somewhere, the app will start with that map area.
