E-route numbers in UK

I noticed when turning onto the A1(M) road in the UK that instead of it showing the road’s name which is A1(M) the app showed a turn indication onto E15.

This is the European road network designation. However it is not and has never appeared on any UK signage, doesn't appear on any mapping platform. And thus isn’t at all useful for navigation purposes.

The direction indications shouldn’t show E road numbers in the UK

In addition I have noticed an almost complete absence of road numbers shown in the app in general. Google Maps for example always shows them and shows correctly.

    Also facing this issue, with A1(m) and m18, so must say bug is still present.

    Thanks for feedback! Is this a common issue or just in one specific intersection?

      It was at least two junctions on the A1(M). I can't comment on other motorways. Noticed Junction 63, 64.

        Can you give us an example plan (share ABRP plan) where this happens? We have trouble finding and intersection showing this.

    Hey, thanks for reporting. I just found the issue, why we sometimes miss road sign icons in our instructions. This will be fixed with the next release.

      I'm happy to confirm the issue is now fixed. Tested on my drive today.

      This bug has returned. It happened to me on Saturday 26th July 2025. The M1 southbound became the “E13”.

    I also had this issue last week but not on this road, I was driving on the M6 heading southbound.
