Traffic displayed colors on the navigation map

Feedback
The app shows portions of the selected route in orange or red, while it is clear that these colors are not linked in any way with the traffic situation on the road - in 99% of the situations, there is no medium or heavy traffic when reaching a orange- or red-marked road segment. Please fix your source of traffic information, as currently those colors are simply confusing.

    Hi @Florin Deaconu,

    Currently you’ve got the ‘adjust speed’ setting enabled for your trips. This means we’ll, if possible decrease speed for one or several legs of the route in order to lower consumption and skip on charging stops.

    A leg with decreased speed is shown as orange, which could be part of the reason why you’re seeing more “traffic” than there is.

      Thank you! I have also „Show Traffic“ enabled: how do I get to see that too (if orange or red means „reduce speed“, how would be a traffic jam or a slow traffic area be shown?

        Yes, then you’ll see both. We do use orange both for deliberate ‘decreased speed’ (by setting) and moderately reduced speed due to traffic. Very slow traffic would be red and an almost standstill would be dark red.

        But, it is usually possible to tell if it is deliberate or traffic since deliberately decreased speed would make the entire leg orange.
