Search during navigation of next stop should account for where the stop is and not from current position

…does always search in the area where I am. I really love “stop list” - see photo with stop 7/12, where you can see, when at at which SoC you will arrive at the next stops. This makes the decision easy, where to charge or which planned charger can be skipped. There is one point, which could be a major improvement to that stop list: When you click “search” or “next charger”, ABRP will only search where you are right now. When you have chosen i.e. stop 7 like in the photo and then click search, of course you wish informations near point seven - and not where you are now. I bet most users did not see the capability of this “stop list” and … at the moment only at your present location … … you’ll receive a superb designed list with multiple chargers with a list of the chosen facilities near (restaurant, cafe, toilet…) with distance… . Perfection would be a link to the facility (opened?) and a search which searches near the above chosen stop list. Please imagine, you are in a place, where you could charge now, but the SoC would allow you go further to the next proposed charger on the stop list. Ok - but then comes the question: ist there a café/restaurant/toilet…? Only then, you preceed there. Please improve this to perfection!

Excellent trip planner, disappointing navigation

I recently used ABRP to drive from Copenhagen, Denmark to Leipzig, Germany. I really like the trip planning functionality, especially the way ABRP handles route planning and charging stops. However, I found the actual navigation to be quite disappointing. We tried using ABRP for the entire drive, but fairly quickly decided to switch to Apple Maps for navigation. The biggest issue for us was highway lane guidance. Apple Maps does a very good job of telling you exactly which lane you should be in when approaching exits, junctions, lane splits, etc. ABRP often tells you where you need to go, but does not give sufficiently clear guidance about which lane you should be in to get there. This becomes especially frustrating on large European motorways with several lanes and complicated interchanges. Knowing that you need to take an exit is useful, but knowing that you need to move into the second lane from the left, for example, several hundred metres before the exit is much more useful when actually driving. I think ABRP has an excellent foundation for being an all in one EV navigation app. The route and charging planning are excellent, but the navigation currently isn't good enough for me to rely on it while driving. I'd really like to see much more detailed and reliable highway lane guidance, similar to what Apple Maps provides. If the navigation could reach the same level as the trip planning, ABRP would be a much more compelling all in one solution for long EV trips.

Improvement points

App sometimes has an issue with adding stops to a route, then you cannot search any destinations at all. When pushing the button “look for an alternative chargepoint”, the app won’t always suggest a charger further down the line of your route. But keep the chargepoint you already are designated to. If you pass the chargepoint hoping that it will select a new charger, it will ask you to turn around and go back. Could also be a good idea to be able to request the amount of chargers available when searching for chargepoints. Sometimes a fastcharger with only to chargepoints are constantly busy. So I prefer the ones with min. 8 chargers available. Had a suggestion to a new chargepoint yesterday, saying to I would save some time. But the chargepoint was far away from my route and ended up not saving time at all. Live SOC are sometimes way off if you add an extra stop!

Not just Cons, there are many pros...

Let me list my experiences with the latest desktop / app version (IOS): I am a ABRP Premium user since -  I guess 2020. Some years before, I already used it without subscription with another account as I am driving electric cars since 2014. So - I would say, I am a quite experienced user with ABRP in connection only with IOS / iPhones. From 2020 to 2025, we had a Tesla with a quite good navigation and did not use ABRP very often, only for holidays or larger trips. Since end of 2025, I have a smart #5 with a navigation, which has quite some „room for improvements“, which brought me back to ABRP on CarPlay. Since this summer, I am driving a Zero motorcycle and switches from my premium motorcycle navigation „Calimoto“ also to ABRP. As ABRP ist not a genuine motorcycle app, I have to rebuild many routes with dozens of way points to suit it to motorcycles demands, but at least it shows live SoC and live SoC at arrival of any waypoint. By background is electrical engineer with many years of experience in management of software projects. Please allow me to give you some constructive input and ideas of how to make things even better… . Praise: a) Dynamic, automatic Re-Routing: When deviating from the planned route, I have never seen such a perfect re-routing, quick and reliable! b) When I drive past a waypoint and did not really reach it, most system insist on navigating to this waypoint. ABRP skips it in a perfect way. Usually no need for manual deletion! c) SoC-indication along the route on every waypoint - perfect!
