It can share your exact GPS location with a patrol so they know where to head without a long phone call. The rest of the app is straightforward, with traffic updates 🚦, fuel and charger info ⛽, and service reminders 🔧. Membership starts from £5.49 a month, though the exact price varies depending on your details.
