ABRP app in Volvo EX30 Google freezing

My first longer return trip from Netherlands to Spain, showed me that this app still has some problems in actual use.
One of the most problematic errors was a ‘freezing’ of the navigation while using.
During driving the app showed me tot tak a turn at 5 km ahead. Then it frooze and after making this turn I had to revert tot the Google Maps navigation to get a clue where to go next.
It happened twice on 1 route-part, so it is not a fast returning error, but nonetheless very annoying.

On the other hand I love the feature where the number of available charging point at the next loading stop is shown in the right lower corner. It is, however, not possible to see if the parking space is in use by a car (not being charged). Fortunately in one experience a manager of the loading space area, sent the parked non-users away in order to make charging available. (of course there is no way to include bad behaviour in this app …)

Where does this happen?

    Unfortunately, this happened a short distance before coming at a charging station. I switched to Google maps navigation and continued until arrival at this station.
    During charging I tried tot identify the problem further but no anomaly existed at that time anymore.

    Tha amount of distraction in heavy traffic forced me to simplify my investigation, so I am sorry to say that I have no further intelligence on this event.

    Thanks for reporting! We have had several issues reported with the EX30, but this is new. Did you have to kill the app in order to restore functionality or you could not do it until the next trip?
