Everything on one app: routes, traffic jams and construction sites as well as electric charging stations on the motorways-from the federal government. The motorway app will be available from 20 July.
On 20 July, the Federal Motorway Company will launch a service app for journeys on German motorways. This was confirmed to the German Press Agency on Saturday from the environment of the project. Previously, the newspapers of the Neue Berliner Redaktionsgesellschaft (Saturday) reported about it.
According to this report, the application should display routes, traffic jams and construction sites on the smartphone, as well as electric charging stations on the highways. This is evident from internal documents of the federal Autobahn GmbH. In addition, users should have access to webcams along the route, it said. Truck drivers could find out whether there are free parking spaces and whether rest areas are equipped with toilets, showers and a restaurant. Route planners for motorists have been available for several years from Google, TomTom and Apple.
