live traffic updates

Questions

Hi everyone. I’m using the GPS app APRP (paid version), which is supposed to include live traffic updates – but I find that these updates are significantly worse than what I get in Google Maps. In fact, I pretty much have to keep Google Maps running in the background to get reliable traffic data, which doesn’t make much sense when I’ve paid for a dedicated GPS solution. I’m specifically referring to real-time updates like traffic jams, accidents, or road closures. Has anyone else experienced something similar with APRP? And are there any settings or tricks that can improve the real-time updates? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I see absolutely no improvement in life traffic accuracy in ABRP 6.1.1 (3513) within Germany.

    Just today ABRP told me for my daily route normal driving time of 1h 5min, but Goggle Maps and Apple Maps spoke of a delay of nearly 30 minutes due to accidents on the highway.

    So I wonder why this topic is closed? Is it only handled at the linked bug report?

    The Lifetraffic information that ABRP uses for Germany is unfortunately very poor compared to Google Maps and Apple Maps.

    Hi @Henrik Jensen ,

    The quality of real-time traffic information is worse in some areas. We fetch this information from different providers.
