    Hello

    How can there be real-time traffic conditions without using an internet connection?


    What is well understood is clearly stated,
    And the words to say it come easily.

    It seems perfect but has a major flaw: the geographical limitation for downloading it (and therefore installing it). For a country where tourism is a major industry, only allowing those from mainland France to use it is a shame...

    Hello,

    I just installed it to give it a try. Nevertheless, you still need to enter an email address and a password to be able to access it. And in the article, you mention that it works without an account?????

    The app is sending me to a dead end; the entrance to my residence was changed over 10 years ago and you are still guiding us to a dead end, which is deplorable for our friends visiting us.

    The entrance you indicate is reserved only for fire trucks and for moving.

    Needs to be reviewed.

      1) CCM has nothing to do with Roole Map.

      2) It's up to you to provide the correct information to the navigator and your friends. Include them in your Contacts, possibly specifying the GPS coordinates of the correct entry.

    Hello,

    I installed this app.

    Several things: the maps are not up to date and neither are the road signs.
    So I uninstalled it and resumed navigation via Waze.

      Hello,

      Wikipedia states that Waze's mapping is participatory. That is to say, it is based on the GPS traces of users.
      If Roole Map works the same way, it is not surprising that there are errors since it is significantly less used than Waze.

    Hello,

    I tried to download the Roole Map app via the App Store, but it is not listed or the link to the App Store gives me a message saying "iTunes Store not available."
    Do you have to be a member of Roole? Do you have to be French?
    Thank you in advance for your response!

    Like what...

    Thanks for the info. I'm going to talk to a friend who's very knowledgeable about computers to get her opinion before I install it myself.

    I'd like to hear your opinion as a user if you decide to test this application.

    Another question: have you installed it on Android?

    Have a good day.

    I wanted to install it, response from the Play Store, this app is not available in your region. Another company that thinks France is the only country on earth.

    Disappointed.

    No browsing history, no list of usual destinations, ...

    In short, it's made for insurance companies, manufacturers, ...

    I'm uninstalling, I'll see in the future if that improves on that side. In the meantime, I'm keeping what I had and that works well.

    The only downside, except for the manipulation to be done, is the lack of speed indication in kilometers, unlike Waze.

    All the more reason not to use it and stick to Waze and Google Maps, sorry.

    I am unable to use Roole Map since, living in Belgium, registration is not possible; only phone numbers from mainland France and the overseas departments and territories are accepted, so it's impossible with a phone number +32 xxxxxxxx.

    It could have been a good solution.

    However, the connection to Android Auto is very poor and quite random in the sense that it struggles to connect to Android Auto, sometimes not at all.

    So no, it is absolutely not worth Waze or Google Maps on Android Auto.

    I quickly uninstalled it.

    Hello,

    I just downloaded it on my Android, I find that this app is quite responsive regarding the synchronization of indication/route. It's simple, provides distance, speed, remaining time and remaining mileage as well, and it's possible to choose your route without highways, without tolls, and no unpaved roads. Basic graphics but very readable in dark mode or not. In an age where we promote made in France, I personally adopt it.
