What is your preferred nav app(s) to use while driving long distance (charging required)?

Apple for me........................but...................we take the Yukon XL for any extended trips. Taycan stays home and rests.

I use AAA maps.

The route need not be the same in both directions.. right? Roughly speaking, yes, but when it comes to actual stops or small detours, the route is unlikely to be symmetrical.

On cross country routes it is unlikely to differ, in towns it often will.

IME they are better than they used to be though, but still the gain over my wife with a map is telling me in plenty of time that the turn is coming.

PCM routing to take care of battery preconditioning. Waze running in the background to alert me about whatever might be up ahead.

Does anyone know how to have both the PCM Navigation and Waze running a navigation route simultaneously, while the phone is connected to Carplay? In our Taycan, it seems you can have one or the other, but not both.

I've resorted to using the Porsche Nav when traveling to a charger, and running Waze in the background without a destination input.

That's probably best, given Confucius said "A man with one navigation system always knows how to get somewhere, but a man with two can never be certain."

I've read in other forums (Kia, Hyundai, BMW, etc) that it is not possible for safety reasons: one app could tell you to turn left, while the other one tells you right.
I don't know if this is true, but it makes sense (somehow...)

To clarify my remark, I inferred your point on asymmetrical results to indicate an incorrect algorithm; the routing algorithm can be both correct and offer asymmetrical solutions, or even inconsistent results in the same direction. It's not "the best route period", it's "the best route with xx% of confidence".
