What’s new
Version 2.4.6 · Updated June 27, 2026
EV charging (the headline theme) - Real ad-hoc charging prices right at each station — €/kWh from the official AFIR / Mobilithek feed (10 operator feeds, ~26,000 charging points), instead of just an OSM hint. - Live availability: free / busy / out of service per station; busy ones are pushed to the bottom in the charging-stop planner, with the cheapest free one preselected. - Selectable charging stops with per-station cost and a total charging cost for the route. - Charging-card tariffs + wizard: pick your own charging card per stop (EnBW S/M/L, ADAC, Maingau, EWE Go, Shell, ad-hoc) and see the approximate cost — home-network price vs. AC/DC roaming plus blocking fee. - New: "Find free station" button in EV mode → a list of nearby free charging stations (~12 km, sorted by distance: distance · number free · €/kWh · kW); selecting one pans the map to it. Routing - Your last-used routing profile is now remembered and restored on launch. Fix - Added the INTERNET permission to the release manifest (Android release builds had no network access without it). --- Store release notes (short, EN) — to paste • EV mode: real ad-hoc charging prices and live availability (free/busy) shown at each station • Charging-card tariffs with a per-stop assistant, including cost estimates • New button: list of nearby free charging stations • Selectable charging stops with total charging cost for the route • Your last-used routing profile is now remembered • Fixed a network-access issue (Android)
