Hi, what are the names of the road trip mapping tools which produced the maps shown?
Thanks

Polar Steps was the tool that Leo used which tracks your journey and builds the maps for you and David used Google Map's My Maps feature.

Ok thanks - Polarsteps looks quite useful for overall trip planning including hotels/stops and then tracking with ABRP / Electroverse etc for more detailed journey / charging plans

polarsteps is good to share your journey and record where you went with photos and videos. I don't use it I normally do a rough plan with google maps and work out the main overnight stops.

ABRP and Electroverse are great when travelling to keep a track of where to next charge (or not) as you know if you will get to your end point.

This has reminded me that back in June this year while I was on holiday in Albufeira, the only English plated car I saw was amazingly an MG5, doesn't happen to be anyone on here does it?
