What is remote configuration?

Remote configuration allows you to define settings that are applied automatically directly after performing the login. PTV Navigator G2 supports this feature starting with version 1.1 and newer. The settings are applied only once after the login.

Two flavors are available:

Quick configuration

A simple UI that allows you to define basic settings like: language, connection mode, skip intro screen, show app updates, allow app updates using mobile data, allow logout, request device description, allow update of device description and activate safety warner.

JSON upload

This feature is only available after request. Please contact us through support. With JSON configuration you can upload a preferences_import.json file containing more and complex settings. The complete list can be found in the preferences documentation Preferences.

Example JSON that configures the hybrid mode and automatically downloads the maps for Europe when connected to WiFi:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "keyName": "settings_connection_mode",
            "defaultOrValue": "hybrid",
            "type": "STRING"
        }, 
        {
            "keyName": "map_download_iso_codes",
            "defaultOrValue": "at,be,ch,cz,de,dk,es,fi,fr,gb,hu,ie,lu,nl,no,pl,pt,ro,se,sk",
            "type": "STRING"

    ],
