Poor routing.
Just wondering if everyone else has experienced really bad routing. Wasted almost an hour on the weekend with the Nav choosing country lanes which are technically 60 but you are lucky to go 40. When we finally come to a major road it had only got us 12 miles from where we started. What routing engine does it use. It need major work. Also why does it not re route when you don’t take the suggested turn. I had a couple of situations where once I took the wrong turn the other was not possible but the app just went quiet and I had to find my own way back to the route somehow. Pretty basic stuff for a navigation app right?
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

I can’t seem to find the plan to be able to share from a previous trip. Is this possible.

You can find the plan under Recent plans on the start page.

I don’t think I get the same plan as you because this looks like bigger roads. M3, M4 and M5.

Well I can’t share the exact plan and it had to recalculate as the start point was my location so it didn't show the correct route. As stated though the 1st 15-20miles was the problem. Once it got to the motorways it was fine. But then again you don’t need navigation on motorways anyway.

Do you know if there was much traffic or an accident that made us guide you on another road?

Not that I am aware of. Didn’t see any issues. Clearly the routing engine didn’t take into the fact that small B roads are less preferred. There seems to be a logic issue. We ended up using Apple Maps to get us back to a good route. There was no traffic shown on ABRP throughout the whole route. So not even sure that was even working.

Ok. It’s hard to say what happened. I can’t see any settings making the app select smaller roads. If it happens again please let us know and also add a link to the plan.
