Peter M Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I would like to override the trip planner's default route to include a specific (scenic) highway. ABRP recognizes the beginning and end points, but calculates a different route than the one I'd like to take. Is there anyway override ABRP's default routing?

Samuel-ABRP Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 You can add additional waypoints where you want to drive, which will force the route to include that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Thank you - adding additional waypoints worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The latest version also offers guide points. It's similar to waypoints but only used to force a route to a specific point. In navigation itself that guide point is not shown where normal waypoints are shown (as marker and distance to values). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Thank you - guide points seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'm using version 4.0.44 and don't see anything about guide points in the release notes (or the UI) - what is the version that offers them? Also - I'm very new to ABRP and have found a few YouTube "how-to" videos - but no reference guide. Does one exist? If not, what is the best way to learn the capabilities of this wonderful tool?

Samuel-ABRP Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Not sure if we published that in the app yet, but it is available in the web version. So the App should follow soon as well if not there already. We do not have an official guide but you get used to it pretty quick if you understand which values are relevant for EVs. In general you just have to set arrival and departure soc and adjust the ref consumption a bit if it does not work very well for you. The easiest way is to use live data as that takes care of the consumption part. It even sets the departure soc for you. So with live data you just need to set the arrival soc.

Peter M Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Thank you again for your quick reply. Just a comment that I was using the web ui version 4.04..44 and not see anything about setting guide points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill N Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I do find it quite surprising that there still isn’t even a quick start guide. I’m frequently coming across people who are using ABRP incorrectly because there is no guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Deziel Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 What we would also need, if we go pass a way point, we would need to overide it after few miles, so the gps would go to the next way point. Now we need to stop and delete the way point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
