Wenn ich eine Route plane, besteht sie zunächst aus POIs, also interessanten Zielen, die ich anfahren möchte. Aber nicht immer Routet kurviger so, wie ich gerne fahren möchte. Deshalb setze ich in diesem Fall einen Zwischenpunkt und verschiebe den Routenverlauf. Das Blöde ist nun, dass dieser Zwischenpunkt genauso aussieht wie alle anderen Punkte. Das macht die Tour in der Ansicht sehr unübersichtlich. Deshalb hätte ich einen oder zwei Wünsche:

1. Am liebsten hätte ich es, wenn ich die Route verschieben könnte, ohne ein neues Zwischenziel einzugeben, so wie bei Google maps.
2. Wenn 1. nicht sein soll, hätte ich gerne einen optisch unscheinbares Symbol für das “Zwischenziel”.
3. Es wäre auch ok, wenn ich hinterher entscheiden könnte, ob es sich bei dem Zwischenziel um ein POI handelt oder um einen untergeordneten Wegepunkt. Bei Basecamp etwa kann man entscheiden, ob es sich um einen Punkt mit stillem Alarm handelt, der dann vom Navi nicht angesagt wird.
4. In einer weiteren Ausbaustufe könnte man sogar nach einem Rechtsklick auf das Zwischenziel aus einer Liste heraus entscheiden, welches Symbol und Eigenschaft der Wegepunkt haben soll, z.B. Hotel, Sehenswürdigkeit, Pause, etc.  
Und natürlich sollten diese Merkmale beim export auch auf die App übertragen werden! 🙂

* * *

When I plan a route, it initially consists of POIs, which are interesting destinations that I want to approach. But not always routes .kurviger the way I would like to drive. Therefore, I put in this case an intermediate point and move the route. The stupid thing now is that this intermediate point looks exactly like all other points. This makes the tour in the view very confusing. That’s why I have one or two wishes:

1. I would prefer if I could move the route without entering a new stopover, like on Google maps.
2. If 1. should not be, I would like a visually inconspicuous symbol for the “intermediate goal”.
3. It would also be ok if I could decide afterwards whether the intermediate destination is a POI or a subordinate waypoint. At Basecamp, for example, you can decide if it is a silent alarm point that is not announced by the Navi.
4. In a further stage of development, one could even decide from a list, after a right-click on the intermediate destination, which symbol and property the waypoint should have, e.g. Hotel, sight, break, etc.  
And of course these features should be transferred to the export export to the app! 🙂

It’s OK to have all those “via point xx” by default, but certain waypoint on a route often have a special significance. For example because there’s a restaurant with a planned stop, a parking lot to meet other buddies or a certain location to be visited. It’s sometimes quite confusing to have a good overview over your route without the possibily to have custom names for your waypoin…

Hi,  
when will the Website support Shaping Points like the Kurviger App already did?

Sorry, I cannot provide an ETA. The next thing on the todo list are waypoint names, after that we will see 🙂.

Hi Robin,

I am not sure if this is the right place - if not, feel free to move my remarks, of course.  
Would it be possible to export Waypoints/Wegpunkte as ViaPoints and Shapingpoints/Formpunkte as Shapingpoints in Garmin GPX Export?  
Without Shapingpoints/Formpunkte that is not useful, because up to now you need Waypoints/Wegpunkte to modify the Route - but with Shapingpoints/Formpunkten you can use them and use Waypoints/Wegpunkte to generate ViaPoints in Garmin Export…

Yes, this would be one of the features of the shaping point implementation that this is considered when exporting a GarminShapingPoint GPX.

The website now offers the option to change the waypoint type to shaping points.

You can do this using a few different options:

Also when clicking on the route itself, these will be automatically shaping points now.

Currently, exporting shaping points is not available (except .kurviger / url / qr-code).

I have stored some routes. I tried to change waypoints to shaping type, save to my routes. But after opening the points are waypoint type again. Change of name is OK, it’s stored well.

Thanks for reporting this issue, this should be fixed in a few minutes, just reload the website in a few minutes and it should work as expected.

Tolle Sache! Super!

Wenn ich jetzt eine Tour im kurviger Format speichere und wieder importiere, wird auch ein Track angelegt. Wenn ich dann einen Punkt verschiebe, wird der Track (natürlich ) nicht geändert.

 ![2020-07-03_192842](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2d2343227f2fe7c2c46525308e6dd2feeb69d51f.jpeg)  
Wozu wurde beim Importieren ein Track angelegt?

Ich frage mich auch, ob es mehr Sinn machen würde, den Wegepunktnamen beim Verschieben automatisch zu löschen. Denn die Bezeichnung dürfte in der Regel nicht mehr stimmen.

Great stuff! Great!

Now when I save a tour in kurviger format and import it again, a track is created as well. If I move a point, the track (of course) is not changed.

 ![2020-07-03_192842](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2d2343227f2fe7c2c46525308e6dd2feeb69d51f.jpeg)  
Why was a track created during import?

I also wonder if it would make more sense to automatically delete the waypoint name when moving it. Because the name might not be correct anymore.

Bitte nicht!  
Sonst löscht es den Namen, wenn man einen Wegpunkt genauer positioniert  
und z.B. um 20m verschiebt. 😉

Nur wenn Du auch “Anzeige als Overlay (visuelle Darstellung auf der Karte)” angewählt hast 😉  
Dieses Feature gab es meines Wissens bisher nur für \*.gpx Format.  
Jetzt kann man sich auch für \*.kurviger das Overlay anzeigen lassen 👍

Bei richtigen Namen bleibt die Bezeichnung. Bei Ergebnissen der Adress Suche wird der Name zurück gesetzt.

Den track bei kurviger Dateien gibt es übrigens schon seit Monaten 😉
