Hello routing experts, as a user of Motoplaner for many years, I am now also a user of [Kurviger.de](http://Kurviger.de), which offers some nice features. However, I miss a function very strong: Is there a way to add the option “linear distance/ Luftline” as a routing option? I enjoyed using this opportunity in areas without detaild maps, e.g Albania. In addition, I honestly admit that I have very much appreciated Motoplaner for non-motorized activities, like cycling and hiking. This possibility could be also a good alternative to the problematic offroad - routing. Greeting Thale ---

Hi Thale, That is in our plan, please see also the feature topic: > [@Website: Straight-Line / Point Planning mode / Plotting a track on unsurfaced roads](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/straight-line-point-planning-mode-plotting-a-track-on-unsurfaced-roads/285): > > Hi. An excellent app. I’ve used it in the UK as well as on a recent trip to the Alps, Dolomites and Slovenia. On the desktop version is it possible to plot a route which uses legal roads which are unsurfaced but Kurviger does not “see” as a road? Such roads are not uncommon in the UK. A few of these seem to be accessible through Kurviger but many are not. I used to use MotoPlanner. This had a point to point route planning option which, although time consuming on long trails, was perfectly acce… ---

Hallo Navigationsexperten, eine sehr liebgewonnene Funktion des Motorplaners war für mich die Möglichkeit der Luftliniennavigation. Wenn man mal zu Fuß oder in Gegenden ohne vollständige Kartenabdeckung unterwegs ist, finde ich dies ausgesprochen hilfreich. Ich weiß das dies ein nichtkomerzielles Projekt ist und damit viel (Frei)zeit drauf geht und bin auch wirklich dankbar, dass es euch gibt. Deshalb will ich eigentlich auh icht “nerven”, aber zeichnet sich mittelfristig für das Thema Luftlinie eine Lösung ab? Viele Grüße Thale ---

Ich weiß, ich wollte nur mal horchen ob es schon was Neues gibt. Es kann natürlich sein das so ein Featurer keiner braucht, dann wäre das schade, aber halt nicht zu ändern. Gruß - Thale
