I like to use the app often and usually navigate using only the audio instructions. This works quite well so far, but I miss the hint as soon as you leave the planned route unintentionally. The app is silent and before you realize it, you’ve driven miles in the wrong direction. I would be pleased if this could be improved in the future. Otherwise I think Kurviger is great.
Keep up the good work!
I also navigate using audio only and it works relatively well. My navigation is set to ‘recalculate’, so I’m less interested in whether I’ve missed a turn.
However, as I listen to music while driving, I can heasr by the volume if I have missed a turn. In addition, I still work with a relatively large number of SPs and therefore hear the command “please turn”.
Basically, there is a lot more missing in pure audio navigation. For example
- occasional announcements to the next VP in KM
- Arrival time to the destination
However, I would have preferred to be able to request such things independently via voice control using Sena, Cardo,…
Pure audio navigation is on the developers’ list, but since the majority of drivers drive by sight, it is not a high priority.
Thanks for the feedback! A voice prompt for when leaving the route is on our to do list 
Cool. Now I just hope that this function won’t be too long in coming. Thanks for your answers. I wish you all a good ride.
Hello everyone.
When I recently drove a route using only voice output, I kept having problems with it. Sometimes the voice tells you to turn at bends without a junction, sometimes “keep right” means that you should take a sharp right turn, at other points it means that you should drive straight ahead, although there is also a possibility to turn right. And if you have taken a wrong turn as a result, the voice does not say “please turn around”, but takes you back in sometimes strange detours. All in all, it is not practical to drive a tour using only audio.
Is it possible or planned to improve the acoustic route guidance in a later update?
We are planning to further improve our voice guidance.
Please feel free to report these cases (with actual coordinates). It is not always possible to fix these, but they are often an issue with the OSM data. If improved then Kurviger will provide better guidance at this location.
In the attached image, you can see a typical error. At the top left, you can see what the voice guidance says, namely “follow the road for 2 km.” On the map, you can see that you actually have to turn sharp right and leave the main road.
I realize that this is definitely an error in the OSM data. But I don’t think it’s good to make the quality of your app dependent on external data that you can’t change, or on the goodwill of users. There are simply too many of these errors. My tip to you would be to incorporate a plausibility check with correction. You should only use the map data as raw data and prepare it for your app.
Bei mir sagt die App in der Simulation “Scharf rechts abbiegen”, hier der Link: https://kurv.gr/aBPYa
Was man auf deinem Screenshot noch erkennt ist, dass du ein Shaping-Point direkt auf der Kreuzung hast. Das ist ausdrücklich nicht empfohlen und die App warnt davor. Die Konsequenz davon kann sein, dass du an der Kreuzung irgendwelche komische Ansagen hast oder in deinem Fall scheinbar gar keine.
Verschiebe oder lösche den Shaping-Point und probiere noch mal.

Ok, das wusste ich nicht. Ich habe die shaping points ja auch erst machen müssen, um ein anderes App-internes Problem zu kompensieren, nämlich dass sie eine Route nicht zuverlässig umkehren kann, sondern nur die Reihenfolge der shaping points.
Bei der ganzen Diskussion versuche ich mich in einen App-Entwickler hinein zu versetzen. Ganz ehrlich: Wenn das meine App wäre, würde ich jede Meldung eines Kunden daraufhin überprüfen, ob ich das unerwartete Verhalten durch eine Änderung in meiner Software verhindern kann. Bis das implementiert ist, würde ich meinen Kunden mögliche work-arounds sagen, aber mit dem Hinweis, dass der Punkt in Arbeit ist. Ich meine das zu 100% konstruktiv, weil ich finde, dass Kurviger an sich eine voll geile Motorrad-Navi-App ist. Und damit sie eine gute Zukunft hat, von der wir alle profitieren, liefere ich meinen input zu ihrer Weiterentwicklung. Wenn sich unter den usern eine Kultur des “Austricksens” entwickelt, dann ist das langfristig das Ende der App.

@developers: I discussed my suggestions with ChatGPT and now understand a little better the problems you are facing at the application level. Nevertheless, there are two points that might help users without making the implementation too complex on your end:
- “Smart‑Snap” for shaping points
Algorithm: Ifdistance(point, closest_node) < 15 manddeg(angle_left, angle_right) > 45°, push the point onto the dominant outgoing edge.
Benefit: Instantly lowers the user’s learning curve; can be done entirely in the app layer—no GraphHopper hack required. - Instruction post‑processing inside the app
Heuristic: Emit a turn instruction wheneverroad_classornamechanges and the segment to the next junction is > N m, even if the physical angle is small.
Implementation: Readingpath_detailsfrom the GraphHopper JSON response is enough.
Performance: O(number of instructions) – negligible for a mobile CPU.
I hope this helps. 
I feel so old.
Naja, ich wollte halt ein bisschen verstehen, ob meine Vorschläge technisch überhaupt so einfach realisierbar sind wie ich mir das vorstelle. Und dazu ist ChatGPT echt ganz hilfreich. Man kann ja in so einem Forum auch nicht erwarten, dass die Entwickler alle technischen Details erklären. Kann ich jedenfalls empfehlen! Kostet ja nix. 
Bei mir war halt Kopfkino. Hast zwei Steaks auf den Grill geworfen, dass es gemütlich wird, zwei Bier aus dem Kühlschrank .. Prost. 
Hello,
I also mainly use voice instructions with french voice.
The French voice is very special, it sounds like a mix between a French and Canadian accent.
So I suggest to change it 
Thanks
Hello @michmich have you installed Google Text to speech engine (TTS)
now called Speech Recognition & Synthesis?

Hello @linux-user I’ve just installed it but I don’t understand how it can change the french voice in Kurviger! I’m on ios
Have a look here: Voice Guidance [Kurviger Knowledgebase]
Choose a premium voice, if available, this will result in really nice voice instructions.
Great, thanks boldtrn, I’ll try it this week-end
