From time to time the orientation of the Kurviger screen on my smartphone changes from landscape orientation to portrait orientation and back - during driving. In addition it always changes to landscape when the scooter stops at a crossing for example. As soon as I start to drive again - it changes back to the ‘straight forward’ orientation of the direction arrow. My smartphone is laying flat in a bag with plastic front on my handlebar - works well too without issues when using my navigation device ( Navigon ). Only when I use my smartphone with Kurviger - this orientation isse takes place. Even if I use ‘google maps’ on my smartphone - no orientation change during driving - only with Kurviger on the screen. What could be the reason ? ---

You can lock app orientation in `Settings | Application | Screen orientation` so that it remains steady even with vibrations when device is flat.
