To download an offline map go to “Manage maps” in the map menu. There you will find all maps and the ones you have already downloaded and which are generally available. Select the continent and the country whose map you want to save and tap “Download”.

With a loaded offline map, you can also navigate your routes without an Internet connection and calculate “Standard Routes” if there is no network connection.
The offline maps also have a night mode which, thanks to its dark colouring, increases the visibility of the display in strong sunlight. Even if you prefer online maps, it makes sense to load offline maps, because if the connection breaks down due to a forest area or other signal interference, the route guidance can be continued on the offline map. With other applications and apps, you wouldn’t see any environment in such a situation.

You can operate motocompano with touch-sensitive gloves (available in stores). The map window during navigation is designed so that you can operate all important buttons with gloves on. You can also position the buttons on the screen itself to achieve optimal usability.
Basically, the functions of motocompano are programmed so that you never have to use the app while driving, unless you want to create a POI while driving or decide yourself how the recalculation should behave if you deviate from the planned route.

With the motocompano app you can simply put your smartphone in your pocket and connect it to headphones or a suitable intercom and navigate. Activate “Route guidance in the background” in the settings. In this mode you must decide beforehand what should happen if you deviate from the route – an intervention while driving is not yet possible with background navigation.

As soon as you have entered your exact home address in the user settings, you can use the “Take me home” function. From the main screen you can either select the function in the route menu or access it in the full view of the map via the route menu (symbol below in the middle).

Occasionally it may happen that a purchased PRO or PROplus package is no longer active. In this case there are two ways to solve the problem:
1) Log out of you account, close the app and open it again. Your user rights may not have been loaded correctly.
2) Go to the shop in the app (Profile > Shop) and tap “Restore purchases” below.
