Is it possible to add “unpaved road”, for a week ago, abrp will have me to drive at a unpaved road.
I don't won't to drive in unpaved roads, if it's possible.
Then I have to use google maps for a new route. 😔
Look forward to hear from you ASAP about this issue.

Hello @Pia Knudsen,
Could you please provide a link to the ABRP plan where this happens?

I don't understand what you mean with a link?
It was in Denmark, if what's what you mean 🤷♀️

There should be a warning that the recommended route includes sections of gravel road.

I have used ABRP for car vacations over the past three years. On several occasions, I’ve been routed onto tiny, winding roads where the speed limit is at least 70 km/h, but in reality, it's only possible to drive at 50 km/h.
Most recently, the app navigated me onto a small road that suddenly turned into a gravel road — for miles and miles. It’s impossible to drive at 70 km/h on such roads. Completely unrealistic. We lost both time and energy significantly. We absolutely did not arrive with the battery level the app had predicted. It was quite stressful.
ABRP really needs to implement an option to avoid gravel and/or small roads. Or simply allow users to choose only larger, better roads — even if it means using more energy.
