I don’t understand why the export for Navigon devices was dropped. One of the reasons why I have supported this platform for years is (was) the easy export to Navigon. Now I have to go through the hassle of converting the files with other programs — extra steps and extra sources of error. Please give me back the Navigon export! Regards Michael ---

As far as I know, Navigon hasn’t been around for years. ---

The Navigon export was dropped because we completely rebuilt the export functionality. Every single file format would have had to be re-engineered, and the Navigon export was almost entirely unused. That’s why it wasn’t converted to the new system. ---

True, Navigon was bought out by Garmin because they were simply better — that’s how you get rid of the competition nowadays. Navigon devices still work better today than all that NÜVI stuff. I use Navigon devices to drive routes created with Kurviger. As additional help in TSD rallies. Hardly a better combination available. Using a few strategically positioned waypoints, you drive the specified route, not whatever the GPS thinks is „better“. It’s a pity about the lack of export support — I’ll have to look for another route planner then. Was a paying supporter for at least 6 years… ---

Where does your Navigon get its current maps? ---

Since regularity rallies are not held on new roads, a map update is not necessary. ---

Thanks! I’m currently using [https://www.routeconverter.com/](https://www.routeconverter.com/) and it works okay. Do you have any suggestions for another navigation device that will follow the exact route I put together in Kurviger? ---

Hi @68gt500, Every navigation system calculates routes individually using its own algorithms, settings, and map/road data. Put simply: a 1:1 identical route can only ever be reliably guaranteed using the exact same system. If you don’t want to navigate with your smartphone, you can also use Kurviger with **[Android Auto](https://docs.kurviger.com/de/androidauto)**[](https://docs.kurviger.com/de/androidauto)or **[Apple CarPlay](https://docs.kurviger.com/de/carplay)**[](https://docs.kurviger.com/de/carplay). That might be worth considering. 💡
