ZTL Zones in Italy

Feedback

Dear Team, Thank you very much for nothing. You actually managed not to integrate the ZTL zones, which are widespread in Italy, into your program. Instead, your app guides users straight into these zones if there happens to be a charging station located there. The annoying part is that this results in a €100 fine for the municipal coffers, because entering is generally prohibited unless you also have a hotel booking inside the zone. ZTL zones are marked in other maps. I had to pay my “tuition fee” for this mistake, and I hope you will integrate restricted zones like these into your maps in the future. Kind regards

        The plan you’ve linked appears to use ‘my position’ as the starting point. Please provide a link that only uses regular addresses for waypoints.

            This is a rather long route. Could you point out where we routed you incorrectly? Do I assume correctly that it is inside ‘Siena’?

              That’s correct. It is inside Siena. Here are Informationa about the restricted area:

              Most of the Italien cities have ZTL.

                I’ve checked with the team, and at the moment, we’re not aware of / cannot avoid these restricted areas as we do not have the data.

                I’ve also checked with, for instance, Google Maps, which also has no indication of the area being restricted when asking for a route to this charger.

                Could you tell me which other maps/routing engines you’ve found that do have support for avoiding ZTL zones?

    I forgot to mention that, apart from this issue, I really appreciate your program. It’s just fantastic to see how many free charging spots are available at the destination and to be routed directly there. That makes traveling so much easier.
