About this app

Electro Station Finder EUR calculates a route and finds electric charging stations. Charging stations can be searched along this route or around a location.
Charging stations along the route can be restricted to the vicinity of refuelling stops,
whose distance from each other is the cruising range with the achievable loading state of batteries at refueling stations, which often is lower than 100% of the capacity of the batteries.
Waypoints (stop overs) separated by semikolon are no longer part of the 'To' field. They will be entered in a waypoint list. If charging stations are already found, a station selected on the map can be added as waypoint. Waypoints can be removed from the list.

In Settings of the action bar the user can configure the start action, which is shown at start of the app. The start action can be the Route Request or the Circular Search of charging stations. The start action may be shown or executed immendiately applying the last used search criteria.

The route is shown on the map as a red line with route markes at start, intermediate destinations and final destination. Charging stations are presented as cluster or single station markers dependent on the zoom level. Station marker show different colors dependent on the charging power of the charging station.
A navigation system, installed on the device, can be selected for navigating from the current position to the selected marker.

The list of stations can be saved to sd card. It can be imported to navigate to a selected station. This is done without using the internet.
