Doesn't share SOC with Apple Maps as far as I can tell but I only took a cursory glance and I don't use Apple Maps regularly. My experience with BMW Maps is just OK. It takes SOC into account when setting a destination and will offer to add an additional stop at a charging station. However, there's no way, as far as I can tell, to pick which charging station you'd like to stop at, you just gotta take its recommendation or configure the routing manually on your own. Also annoying: I can hardly ever get Route Magnet to work. I'll drag the magnet but more times than not, the route it configures would take me to the magnet to just stupidly take me back to the origin before guiding me to the final destination
If anyone has tips on how to get Route Magnet to work better, I'm all ears!
