Hello, Does anyone know how to tur “Map overlays” off permanently? Every time when I enter Kurviger and load a map - it is turned on. I prefer maps without this feature. Thank you very much in advance and best regards, Marcin ---

If you have setup your browser that it a) does not store any data locally or b) clears your stored data after you leave the site / close the browser, then you might get triggered for the tutorial more often. Is this the issue your seeing? ---

I mean, how to turn off map overlays when I load it. Are there any settings that can make if I load a map, overlays is turn off by default? Because now, when I load a map, overlays is turning on automatically. And each time I have to enter “Map overlays” menu and turn if off manually. ---

This is a completely new way to manage and work with Overlays in Kurviger. Previously, an Overlay always belonged to one route. Now Overlays stay on Kurviger, independent from the route, they are even synchronised with your Kurviger account, so you can use them on different devices. What can be shown as an Overlay? Files (e.g. gpx) The currently planned route Cloud Route A favor… Take a look into this thread 🙂 ---

Thank you very much for quick response. Can I turn off overlay manager and make in inactive? Because each time when I load a map from my Kurviger cloud overlay is on. ---

You can delete all overlays in the overlay manager, see: [Overlay Manager [Kurviger Knowledgebase]](https://docs.kurviger.com/overlay_manager) ---

Thank you very much for your response and sending me information about Overlay Manager. But the problem is that I don’t use Kurviger on my mobile phone, but only on my computer and through your web site. And there is no “map overlay” option in the map layer icon. Are there any other ways to turn it off? ---
