[QUOTE="harper, post: 1443999, member: 88451"] I have tried several short test rides with Kurviger. I have used it with offline maps with the cell phone radio signal turned off and the wireless radio signal turned off. Under those conditions if I go off-route it says it's recalculating but then announces that there is no internet signal. When I get back on the path it finds me in a short period of time, a minute or two. I can stop and see where I am on the offline maps and find a way to get back on route if I need to. The phone doesn't spend any time or battery searching for cell towers or wireless signals with the radio signals turned off and that also shows conclusively that it will operate out in the sticks with GPS only. I also found out how to make it not announce the waypoints as I ride by them. I can build a route on my desktop, transfer it to the Android, and there turn off the waypoint notifications selectively or all at the same time. It's pretty cool for what I want to do but the learning curve is fairly steep because the manuals are chaotic at best. I was, however, able to Google a couple of specific questions. [/QUOTE]
