ABRP Premium is useless crap

Feedback

I started Premium for this years holiday traveling cause i wanted to have the navigation via android auto. I wasn't aware, that ABRP has absolutely no traffic or construction works information. So our 650km travelling was 700km because ABRP sent me into a closed road (no drive thrue allowed) and 2 times into a big construction works closure.

All these issues were known to google maps, which i then used to drive around.

So it makes absolutely no sense, to use ABRP for navigation.

Furthermore the map on the adroid auto screen is crap too. The current position is shown far on that side, where i have to drive to. So i don't have any screen information about the next procedure of the road. If i want to zoom out, the app is immediately zooming in again. I mean, really immediately. So it's really stressing to use abrp for actual navigation.

I stopped the premium abo after driving to the holidays. I'll use upfront planning with abrp and google maps for navigation for homewards … .

    A few thoughts:

    1. Do you know that ABRP can export routes to Google & Apple Maps? I’m not sure if it exports the whole route, or just waypoints, but that might make it easier to use in your area.

    2. In the US, on Apple devices, there is traffic information shown. So this might be a bug or information that is missing in your region. It would be helpful to the ABRP developers if you shared your route with them so they could see what they did and maybe sort it out.

    3. For the rest of us, mentioning the your region would be a heads up to be on the lookout for similar problems.

      Oh sorry, I wasn't aware.

      Yes, it's the opposite of apple / us. It's android / EU.

      I was travelling from Zittau in far eastern Germany towards the Balaton in Hungary, without using toll money roads.

      What do you need more about the route? Do you need some kind of map export or something? (While I'm not sure, if the troublemakers will be inside this plan or not, because maybe there was a re-planning on the fly.)

      If i use to export the planning towards google map, there won't be a review of the route by ABRP in the background, to see if I'm running out of the plan because maybe higher energy consumption that would make it necessary to use different loading stations. Right? Or is there a way for this??
