Heya,

I’m trying to go through Europe in Co-Maps. Particularly, I want to use offline maps to avoid aggressive roaming fees during one part of my route, as well as have a robust backup if online maps breaks. This seems to work great in preparation so far.

One thing I’d like to account for, is that driving through Switzerland is very expensive. I would rather want to detour slithly south through Austria, but I can’t find a good way to communicate that to the app. I could try with some intermediary stops, but that seems like it would muddy the routing algorithm even more.

Is there a way to prefer/avoid areas or countries? Or a way to prepare a fitting route externally in advance, then reliably have it work in the app?

Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about that, I think it depends on the country. German and Austrian SIMs for sure, I think other EU countries still get charged.

      My bad I looked it up. I never payed roaming when I visited Switzerland, but that seems to be a specific exemption to my provider specifically. Looks like you generally pay roaming fees in Switzerland, even from Germany.
