ABRP gets lost !!

Just this weekend been using ABRP Premium in earnest to get used to it before a long trip to France.

Both out and back on a journey of a bit over 100 miles, ABRP has got lost! I've only slowly realised this when it started sending me down narrower and narrower lanes. It kept giving me directions, turn here, etc.

It was only when I stopped and opened up the app, that it showed I was nearly 10 miles away from the planned route!!

This was on both occassions in the same area with poor/intermittent mobile signal but I've never had this sort of problem in similar areas with Google or Apple Maps … In any case, my phone should still be picking up GPS positional information.

Any suggestions as to what is going on? Have I missed something in the settings?

Or is it a fundamental fault with ABRP

    Hi @Larry Stoter,

    So you kept being routed in CarPlay but when you opened the iOS app there was a different route?

      No, the route in the app was the original planned route and the app showed I was nearly 10 miles off the route - directed there by ABRP in CarPlay …

    I’ve had exactly the same problem, using iPhone and ABRP via Carplay.

    • Gets lost when no /poor mobile network signal.

    • Sends me down single track roads with grass growing up the middle and potholes.

    Not sure if these are linked issues or separate issues.
