Roads by Porsche

The roads themself are great, unfortunately the navigation (at least in Czechia) is horrible. Navigating where I cannot go, not aware of some turns, messy interface in CarPlay and it just navigating wrong (it even got me in a circle).

An absolutely perfect app for drivers all around the world. Must Have.

So many bugs and crashes with carplay as well as with navigation if you miss the turn.…However, trips and roads there are just great.

Can you fix the detour removal? Can’t really build my road now. Thanks.

While the auto-generated routes are a cool feature, I’m really struggling to see why user-generated routes were removed from the map tab in the app. Yes, I know I can see “best routes in the region” on the home tab and my favorited routes are still accessible, but I can no longer see what other app users may have created near me which is incredibly frustrating. I’m not sure why user-generated AND auto-generated routes can’t BOTH be visible on the map tab; that would keep everyone happy. Limiting the way we can use the app just feels like bad design. Also, I noticed when I do choose a user-generated route, it no longer takes me directly there and instead tries to make a “fun route” on the way there. While this might work for some users, I would rather just get to the route I wanna check out ASAP and do that route. Once again, options would be nice here. Please consider this feedback; I’ve really enjoyed using this app for about a year and these recent updates are admittedly disappointing.

Please bring back the map function to explore other area’s routes. The auto generated routes are cool but the real gem of this app was giving the users the ability to record their own route and share it with their friends/local backroad enthusiasts. If I could go back to the previous rendition of the app i would in a heartbeat, this new version is not user friendly

I really like the idea of what the app is. I like that it can generate routes to give you a new experience. But like other reviews, it doesn’t allow for deviations from the route if you want to take in the scenic aspects of your route. My biggest frustration is that you can’t change/inverse the direction of your route when you generate it. Even when choosing a starting point, what if I want to start going straight but the app makes me do a U-turn instead. It’s things like this that makes me frustrated and enough to never open the app or outright delete it. Good concept but it needs more work.

The auto generated roads work perfect but if you try to jot down your own route the thing messes it up frequently. ETA functions don’t work either.

It's a great idea for an app: tell me where you are, and what kinda drive you want to do, and I will create a route for you. And if you like it, share it with your friends. However, it's at Beta at best. Two reasons: (1) it has a hard time understanding you are already on the route. Unless you start exactly where the route begins, it will try to reroute you. So don't leave andoad the app - by the time it's loaded you are on the route, and you're toast. (2) the routing algorithm needs major corrections. It will give you a general idea where to go, and typically that general route is very good. However, it will constantly route you of the main route, through neighborhoods - I guess to add more turns? One time it avruakky wanted me to go through a school parking lot. On small loops you can disobey and just follow the general direction, not so if the loop is a few blocks. Major annoyance, not to say potentially hazardous.

Routinely the GPS seems to completely drop and roads loses track of where I am. More than once I'd be coming up to an intersection and realize that roads had just stopped paying attention to where I was. So I'd go through the intersection, get pulled over, then the route on roads would show me some place that I was supposed to turn a while back, but doesn't give me the directions to get back to where the turn is... What is up with that? Every other navigation app redirects you when you get off course... It's very frustrating.
