Practical Travel Tips
- Plan at least one break instead of treating the estimate as uninterrupted wheel time.
- Check fuel, charging, or meal-stop options before departure, because longer trips are less forgiving if you leave too little margin.
- Use the live planner when departure time, closures, incidents, or exact turn-by-turn steps matter.
