I’ve been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it’s also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!
Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I’ve just installed Organic Maps so I’ll see how that goes this week.
There isn’t really a reason for the app not to fake your journey through the tunnel. It knows you’re about to enter a tunnel, and it knows you will probably lose GPS signal. It should just show you driving through that tunnel until an estimated time you should exit, then if you don’t reconnect in time it should pause at that spot until you catch up.
I hear ya, but it would have to be done with at least some form of red safety indicator, like…
“NO CONNECTION, LOCATION ESTIMATED”
On a side note, why don’t Teslas obey the law that says not to stop in tunnels?

If I’m honest I’m actually wondering why none if those drivers were paying attention. Cars blow tyres or otherwise stop, it’s not limited to misbehaving teslas. The tesla wasn’t braking hard and suddenly, it just slowed down.
In my mind the drivers should have been paying more attention.
Sorry, I know we like to hate on teslas here. I still wouldn’t buy one (or be a passenger).
