What are the conditions for 'My drive' to be recorded?

Questions

Hello, I am using ABRP over CarPlay (iOS).

I’m wondering what the condition is for my drives to be recorded.

Do I need to have ABRP turned on and in the foreground on CarPlay?

Can I be in the widget screen of CarPlay (Where the map, the next turn instruction and media control is shown?)

Is it possible for ABRP to record my drives without ABRP being in the foreground? (Perhaps, even not connected to CarPlay?)

I’ve found the navigation on ABRP to be unreliable (road closures are not updated well enough and I’ve run into these problems twice already last week which required me to turn on Google maps). I’m wondering if I can navigate using Google maps and still keep ABRP logging my drives.

    Hi @Chang Hyun Park ,

    You can get a lot of information here: My Drives and more widely here:

    https://abrp.featurebase.app/en/help

    Part of the article above tells us; “Firstly, the 'My Drives' feature does require the following in order for ABRP to record any activities; - An active ABRP Premium subscription or trial period - An active live data connection supporting the 'My Drives' feature - That 'My Drives' is enabled for the vehicle, by toggling on the 'Save My Activity' switch in the settings for the vehicle Given all the above are fulfilled and the vehicle has been active while connected to ABRP you should now be able to export the recorded data.”

    The real-time traffic data and its quality can vary in the current location, but also from time to time. We have many providers. The maps we are using can also give our planner tool different results compared to Google Maps, Waze etc.
