- Pausing or stopping the route
When you pause on a route and click on the square red button, you will - as a Fietsknoop[+]Plus user - be given the opportunity to choose between stopping and pausing.
If you click on Pause, then you will be able to continue your journey after restarting the GPS button. When you pause, Fietsknoop does not consider the route to be finished.
If you click on Stop, however, then Fietsknoop considers the route to be really finished, and will - after you start the route again - show it with a new starting point, namely where you are at that moment.
- How can GPS accuracy be increased?
Open 'Settings'. Under the tab 'GPS settings' you can set the GPS accuracy. The more accurate, the more energy the phone will consume.
- GPS is not functioning properly
In your phone's general settings, it is possible to give the Fietsknoop application access to your location. Make sure this access is set to ALWAYS.
If the GPS is still not functioning properly, it may be useful to disable the battery saving option in your phone's general settings.
- Read GPX file into Fietsknoop as 'activity'
Import a GPX file via your own dashboard in the Fietsknoop website (only for Fietsknoop[+]Plus users).
Log in to www.fietsknoop.nl/dashboard/inloggen. Click on the blue button 'Activiteiten = Activities' and then on 'Lees GPX bestand in = Import GPX file'.
After importing, the GPX file automatically appears in the app, under 'Activities'. Open - in the 'Activities' screen - the imported route. Using the Fietsknoop GPS function, you can use the route again. No voice support is possible, however.
Sometimes a GPS route is saved as .bin Change this to .gpx and save the file.
- Deviation from route
When you deviate from your planned route, Fietsknoop will warn you with the question 'Are you still on track'?
Once you are back on the route, you will hear 'Welcom back on track!'
Note: it may take a while for Fietsknoop to gauge your position and be sure you are back on the correct route.
- Voice support
Fietsknoop's voice support is not a complete navigation. You will not be warned at every intersection. Fietsknoop does indicate in time when you approach the set node and Fietsknoop will also tell you what the next node is.
How often you would like to be warned, you can set yourself in 'Settings', and 'Navigation settings'.
NB: give the app Fietsknoop permission to use your location at all times. Arrange this in your phone's general settings.
- MTB and GPX routes
At www.fietsknoop.nl/gpxroutes, you will find GPX and MTB cycling and hiking routes created by Fietsknoop users.
Use the 'download' button on the map to download this route as a GPX file, or scan the QR code above the map.
