    I used it for the first time Friday and it took me on a route that was not much of a road. It was washed away in places, had giant potholes, was mostly one lane, and part of it had fallen into a ravine. Some of the route was basically unpaved because of storms last year that had still not been fixed. It was far too bumpy for my sports cars.

    I would have turned around but I had no cell service to plan a different route and would have missed picking up my kids at school.

    I was also in my Audi SQ7 with the performance package that uses the suspension from the Urus and after my fear of falling off the side of a cliff subsided I had quite a good time blasting through the terrible road at speed. The SUV was a necessity because of my family but I now understand what it was actually made for.

    I’ve used it several times in areas away from my home PCA region. Have been generally happy with it. Most favorite thing: it shows upcoming passing zones! Least favorite thing: when the original driver who recorded the route drove a few “dead ends” looking for the best route, you end up following them there.

    Good to know this exists. I was about ready to start building my own app to do this. Last time I planned a rally it was a pain via Google maps.

    I’ve used it occasionally to find routes that I wouldn’t have normally thought about. Loops from nowhere to nowhere mostly which is a nice way to get away and still have a great drive. Often where there’s less ppl too. Edited: typos

    It’s ok but it’s missing tons of normal maps features, like pausing your route

    Also I’ve found it breaks on CarPlay if disconnect your phone
