So, overall I love ABRP, it competes well with Google Maps and in many respects it is much better (the quality of the map itself and the detailed information re charge points). However, on a recent trip to SW France to UK and back, I noticed that when one stops say, at a charge point, and then return to the car, re-connect my iPhone, ABRP does not continue from the current location but tries to start from the original start location. Of course I can resolve this by removing the start location and any upstream stops but this is all very "fiddly". Perhaps I have missed a trick here so I seek others' experiences.
PS We are just about to return to Spain and our trip has four charge stops en route (IONITY and ZUNDER uniquely, I do NOT trust the rest eg Shell and Total Energies) so if there is a better way, I am all ears :-)
 
I use "my position" as the starting point and I do not stop navigation when I leave the car, not even for staying at the hotel for the night.
If you stop navigation and replan, then it will obviously route to past stops as they are still in the plan

Well, leaving my iPhone in the car is not really an option for me but yes, I would expect ABRP to pick up from the last position. But, it clearly does not, hence my question to this group.
 
Nothing to do with leaving your phone.
ABRP runs on your phone, not in the car/play
Yes indeed but I find that if I disconnect the iPhone from the car and then re-connect ABRP "forgets" that we are mid route and hence I have to re-plan. Just wondering if anyone has cracked this, that's all.
 
I use ABRP to plan the trip and then share it to google maps I can then run it on car play where I get real-time traffic info, weather, speed cameras. ( I am too stingy to pay for ABRP and it's overpriced anyway). No problems with restarting after reconnecting the phone, even after using the phone to connect to Ionity chargers.
