ABRP 7.1 is here! 🚀 Redesigned Charger Details, Find Chargers, smarter map callouts, and Live Activity

Hey everyone!

A Better Routeplanner 7.1 is here, and it's all about chargers. We've rebuilt Charger Details and Find Chargers, improved the map callouts for charge stops, and added Live Activity widgets for both driving and charging.

Here's what's new:

  • Redesigned Charger Details. This is a full rebuild of one of our most-visited screens. Plugs and live availability are front and center, and photos plus nearby amenities are all in one clean view.
  • Find Chargers, rebuilt from the ground up. Filter by speed, network, plug type, charge card, and amenities. Results come as rich cards with real charger photos, availability, ratings, and amenity icons at a glance.
  • Smarter charger stop callouts on the map. They now show the network logo, charger speed, and estimated charge time. Improved collision detection means they position themselves intelligently even on busy routes, so the map stays clean and readable.
  • Live Activity (iOS). Two new lock screen widgets that keep ABRP visible without opening the app. While charging: current battery level, charge target, time remaining, and a progress bar. While driving: trip name, ETA, distance remaining, and route progress

The update is out now. Let us know what you think!

Happy driving! 🚗⚡️
