CURVESCOUT / PLAN THE WHOLE RIDE

How CurveScout turns ride ideas into a plan

Discovery, route evidence and current conditions answer different questions. This page explains what each can establish.

Who publishes the site

CurveScout is the publisher. The founder conversation with Torsten Sauter explains the project and its purpose. A founder interview does not mean that the founder has personally ridden or reviewed every route.

What a catalogue record means

A public record can describe a loop, one-way itinerary or route variant. Several records may use the same road. Record counts are not counts of independently verified unique roads.

Place stories explain locations; they do not independently prove motorcycle access. Recorded distances, durations and source labels retain the scope of the underlying planning data.

What a route line means

Checkpoint corridors and calculated road geometry are different. A navigation release needs its own validation of required stops, direction, access and instructions. An SEO or reading-page build does not qualify that engine.

How dates are used

A page preparation date concerns that page. A source-review date concerns the stated source scope. An observation timestamp concerns a particular status. A fresh download cannot renew an expired observation.

How to correct a problem

Keep the affected page URL, the statement to correct and a primary source or specific observation. The correction report tool prepares a local report; it does not send one automatically.

Who the illustrated guides are

Mara, Kenji, Elise, Leon, Noor and Tomas are fictional interface characters. They explain information in the route records; they are not human reviewers, customer testimonials or evidence that somebody has ridden a road. The founder interview describes the founder, not independent inspection of every route.

A source review, a modelled routing result, a personal riding report and a current road-status observation are different kinds of evidence. Each needs its own source, scope and date.
