Zap-Map or PlugShare

[Lickrob]

Most people on here seem to suggest Zap-Map. Just trying to gauge what most people use.

Both...but mainly zap map

Again, both. You can often get different snippets of info from the two apps about the same location.

Any reason for the preference to Zap-Map, personally I prefer the UI of PlugShare. just wondering if I am missing something

I find zap map website easier to use and the app is cleaner.

same - I prefer Plugshare UI - also changes are instant like a wiki. ZapMap are reviewed before being published. but, zap-map has live status of more networks - Plugshare only has Polar (In the UK at least - they have live status of others elsewhere)

I agree that Plugshare is nicer to use, but I find it misses some locations that zapmap includes.

 

[AmPiste]

used plugshare 99% of the time when I had a Zoe and occasionally used zap-map to double check comments / detailed info about parking charges etc.

preferred plugshare for the cleaner ui and faster loading of points

haven't touched either of them since moving over to the m3 lr

Zap-map has virtually all the commercial sites.

PlugShare includes things like caravan site commandos that I’m (mostly) not interested in.

 

[Aye_Watt]

Can Zap-Map be integrated onto the M3 navigation?

 

[MrBadger]

Both, but I normally go to plugshare first - I trust the comments a bit more. Just watch out you got settings correct - I hadn't realised that a local charger existed until someone mentioned it and found it on zap map - I tweaked settings on plugshare, and it showed up.

I wasn't aware of this, that's a good feature I was wanting from PlugShare

I’m afraid not. I’m pretty sure Tesla will only ever direct you to their own chargers in the car.

Starting to add 3rd party ones apparently

Zap-Map or PlugShare

I find the Zap map interface, on PC, to be a nightmare of drill-down and click-click-click ... compared to Plugshare.

but its 6-of-one as to which has the most recent User Comment, so i check both when looking for User reports of whether a 3rd party site is "bust"

I noted this a few weeks ago on :

This new change is different. They’ve shown poi pins for other chargers (and restaurants shops etc) for a long time. now in some European countries they will include non-tesla chargers in the destination list when you click the lightning bolt/search for chargers button

Has anyone got experience using LeaseFetcher Charging Map? Had a little nosey for leasing deals on there a couple of days ago and found this map by chance.

I like plugshare more, but its not as useful from a USA vpn, since they auto detect which type of plug is suitable based on IP address. I seem to get better latency for work when I use the remote vpn...
