Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Most of us when planning a motorcycle trip often prefer the curviest route between point A and point B. Those going on a multi-state trip will often link several points by the most scenic routes too. To find those curvy routes we often resort to high quality resources such as Butler Maps, searching out past ride trip maps on forums, relying on either Google Maps or ticking off the box on the Gamin BaseCamp desktop application for the most curvy route.
Well, is there a faster way of selecting an appealing route with minimal traffic and yields endless miles of twisty delight? I recently discovered a web site called Kurvinger. It has a free version and a paid companion app for either the iPhone or Android.
I gave the Kurviger web site a quick test. I chose two common routes many of us on TWTEX have ridden. I tried routing using the provided filters. I chose the starting point of Round Rock, Texas and selected Cloudcroft, New Mexico as the destination. This seems to be a popular destination for many Texans seeking a quick escape to the cool mountains of New Mexico.
The second route was going from Round Rock, Texas to Ouray, Colorado using both the unpaved and paved option. I wanted to avoid primary highways which is perfect for your typical adventure bike.
1. Round Rock, Texas to Cloudcroft, New Mexico (no filters) - https://goo.gl/afsGtF
2. Same route above except avoid highways and primary FM roads - https://goo.gl/smz5oA

Once you generate a map on the web site, it will also generate a QR code. At this point you just scan it with your phone. You can then open the link with the Kurviger app with the corresponding offline map.
I like the user interface used on the smart phone and the information displayed for route navigation. The offline Mapforge map is easy to read. Several users on other forums would like to see more control over things like detail, info displays, and a way to do track logging, not to mention being able to load up and display tracks.
I look forward to using this map routing algorithm for my future ride planning.
