Feature Gaps and Bugs

Feedback

We started to test your NAV APP due to major gaps in the in-car NAV system. Making use of your APP, we came across multiple issues in the user journey, since dynamic routing is not possible. It appears like you require a fixed route planning at first, based on which it will be able to navigate.

True reality in traffic is: you have to re-act to current traffic situation and you will need to divert. Being forced - while driving - to repeatedly re-plan a route is not possible on the long run.

Furthermore, defined preferences are not reflected. Our car i.e. is realisticly capable of at least 300km travel until we need to stop. On our last journey of 900km across Austria and Germany, we intended to have at maximum 2-3 stops for quick charging.

Despite having chosen the correct filter settings your APP was planning six stops. None of which was following our operator preferences. We hence ended up with a manual planning. A frustrating process.

Way forward, we nevertheless bought a one year license to test your service further. And we remain optimistic that you manage to overcome the feature limitations and bugs experienced soon.

Thanks

    As a fellow user, I don’t understand how you are expecting help here without providing further information. First off you don’t say what how you are using the “APP”, iOS/Android/Web Based. I may do some planning using the Web version, but travel is exclusively iOS & CarPlay.

    You say “Our car is capable of 300km”, but you don’t say what car, make, model, year or battery size. One of the key features for me is that ABRP has some (magic) way of modelling vehicle consumption against a planned route, added to that it also understands the charge curve of the vehicle and charger locations combined with their power output, all to create an optimal planned route. It isn’t perfect, but in my case is much better than the in-car option.

    From where to where in Austria/Germany? With that, and the car information, someone here may be able to understand why you are getting the number of charging stops that are being suggested. Also In the ABRP FAQ under driving there are instructions on how to report odd navigation decisions if you think this is the case.

    I’m not sure what you mean by dynamic routing? If I turn off the route ABRP has planned for me it actively plans an alternative, and it also offers faster routes which I assume is based on traffic conditions. The latter of these I believe is a Premium feature. I will say that route recalculation can be slow at times, but I’m assuming that this is based on distance to destination/route complexity. I’ve had to complete the same 1000km journey a number of times recently and on the most recent of these, driving into a strong head wind, ABRP changed the charging plan mid-route due to increased consumption, on other journeys it has also changed the plan to extended to a further away charger. Again this is a Premium feature combined with live data from the vehicle.

    I’ve not tried changing the Charging Stops away from quickest as the charge curve on my vehicle isn’t high by current standards, but is fairly flat to 85% and still quite high beyond that. Therefore the planner tends to go for long charge sessions presumably to minimise adding diversions for stops. What I can say is that as I’m UK based by setting preferred charge networks (based on my understanding of pricing with subscriptions) this does change the charging plan from the default, making the CPO subscription and ABRP Premium cost worthwhile!
