Welcome to A Better Routeplanner 5.5 with a bunch of goodies for the holiday driving season! This update includes new features and improvements to enhance your EV route planning experience. Here’s a brief overview of the key updates:
Modernized CarPlay
The recent update to ABRP CarPlay support brings a host of enhancements that take advantage of the latest features in iOS. Users can now enjoy detailed instrument cluster and HUD (heads-up display) instructions, providing a more intuitive navigation experience.
Additionally, compatible vehicles will showcase instrument cluster maps, allowing drivers to access real-time navigation information directly within their instrument panels.
Live Drive Sharing
Share the excitement of your journey by inviting friends and family to track your progress with a live link from ABRP. This way, they'll be able to see your real-time location and know exactly when you’ll arrive at your destination. Keep them in the loop and make your travels more interactive!
Live Data Group Sharing
Are you planning an exciting EV rally or gathering? Enhance the experience by enabling contestants to share their real-time locations and data, creating an interactive environment where everyone can see updates from fellow participants. Additionally, you have the option to provide the audience with a read-only view, allowing them to track the action without directly participating. Simply share a URL for easy access to the live information.
Navigation in the background for iOS
ABRP will now seamlessly offer navigation instructions in the background, allowing you to continue using your favorite apps without interruption. This feature enhances convenience by ensuring you receive guidance for your journey even while multitasking - as it should work.
Navigation in the background works for the ABRP iOS app, and support for this comes to the Android app in the upcoming version.
Charger pricing
We have updated the charger details page in ABRP. You can now easily browse and compare prices for different charge cards at a charger. The information is based on the most relevant charge cards, helping you find the best deals while charging your vehicle.
