By popular request, this update gives you the option of importing routes from Google Maps directly into ROADS. Simply click on ""Import"" when creating the route and copy the link to Google Maps. Give it a try!
POIs can now be filtered in the ""Inspiration"" section. This provides a better overview of regions where there are particularly many interesting places to discover.
In recent weeks, we have received various feedback on the topic of navigation, particularly with regard to the occasional re-routing. Our current navigation partner Mapbox has provided us with a solution, which is also part of this update. We hope that this will improve the situation noticeably and permanently.
In addition, the version contains various bugfixes and the option to deactivate the automated anonymization of license plates in the settings. This can be helpful if text has been unintentionally made unrecognizable when uploading an image.
If you have any questions or comments, you are welcome to send us an email via the ""Feedback"" button in the app settings.

This update brings some performance improvements in the groups section and solves a few minor bugs.
3.2.244
2023-09-04
This update is a must-have for all ROADS users!
As you know, we value your feedback very much. Over the past few weeks, this has resulted in three major topics in particular: CarPlay, Navigation and GPX Import. So for this release, we focused on addressing these things with the entire team.
As a result, there is now a completely revamped CarPlay experience. The main attention was paid to maximum intuitive usage: Simply select the route on the phone, connect to CarPlay and start navigation. There is also a light map display for better visibility.
We also received various reports about re-routing issues within the navigation. In individual cases, this could lead to disruptions on the route. This is now completely fixed and the navigation works as it should. The same applies to the import of GPX routes. These are now selectable on any device.
In addition, there are various usability improvements, especially in the groups area. There we have redesigned the categories.
3.2.161
2023-08-01
Thanks to the new "pass by" feature, a waypoint can now be passed by instead of having to approach it directly. This allows you, for example, to drive "via" Stuttgart without being directed into the city center. Many thanks to Christian from the ROADS community for the great idea. For further details please have a look at the new help section in the route planner.
We have further extended the group area. YouTube videos can now be displayed and played directly. ROADS can also automatically create a post when a route is shared with a group.
With this update, the "What's New?" dialogs have been removed from the app. From now on, all news can be found in the "Welcome To ROADS" group. If you are not a member yet, please feel free to join it.
3.2.128
2023-07-07
First things first: Due to a system change, the Facebook login was not fully accessible in individual cases. We have now implemented a solution for affected users. If you had problems in this regard, please log in again and follow the instructions on the screen. If you have any questions, please contact us at any time.
With the new notification system, red markers will now reliably guide you to all news in your groups. These can now be tagged with an unlimited number of hashtags. The categories within the groups now work properly. We have also added a QR scanner. This makes it easier to join groups via QR code directly in the app.
In the 3D preview, traffic incidents are displayed on the elevation profile.
We have added new clubs to the Porsche club list.
3.2.44
2023-06-01
With this update we bring more privacy to ROADS. From now on you can decide who can have access to your routes and who not. In addition, there are now ""protected"" groups. You can only join these with a valid access code. This option is great for already established communities who want to extend their activities on ROADS. Because it ensures that only actual members get access to the group.
For additional overview within the group area, there is now the possibility to favorite individual groups. So you can access your favorite groups even faster.
We have also reworked the upload of images. In addition to improved editing, there are now exclusive photo filters that you can use to enhance your creativity.
Each route now has an animated 3D visualization, which gives you a realistic idea of the route in real time. In addition, current disruptions on the route are displayed here, so that you are already informed before departure if there are closures or the like.
At this point, we would like to thank you for all your feedback on the topic of navigation. We have taken it as an opportunity to test it again extensively and to improve it in the crucial places.
