Simulating Driving a Route

Often the response to a bug report is a request to post a route where the bug happens. It would be very nice to be able to simulate driving a route to see if the a sample route actually demonstrates the bug being reported. Is there a way to do this?

    Hello @Doug Urner,

    I hear you, currently only developers can do fake drives. We feel that a lot of users wouldn’t have any use of it. We have considered giving access to fake drive for some users but nothing we have gone through with just yet.

    I just saw your issue regarding speed limit change going over a highway and is currently trying to figure it out, in that case i can understand that would be nice to have the fake drive option for you

      @Nikola: That would be so useful! It would be really nice to be able to check that a route actually reproduces the problem being reported. It might also make it easier for folks who encounter a problem hours from their home / current location to check to see if they can reproduce a problem. Right now, I’d find it useful because it would let me see if the problems that I’m seeing with speed limits around home exist in other areas. I think that would be helpful for figuring out if a cause of a problem is due to OSM coding errors or maybe a change in ABRP or the way ABRP is interpreting OSM tags.
