The ADAC app not only for members

and Magic Earth – the cheap alternative

ADAC Fuel Prices App becomes ADAC DRIVE

Route planning and navigation for Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

The ADAC Drive app has been around for some time.

With the new update (03/2025), important features have been added.

What can the app do now, even if you are not a member :

Show fuel prices

View charging stations

Show campsites/ pitches

Monitoring traffic volumes

Plan routes

For ADAC members, things are now getting really interesting:

Now with entry of the motorhome vehicle data

(Height – Length – Width – Weight)

It is good to give standard values that fit your own motorhome, e.g.:

Width: 2.10 / 2.30 / 2.50 – Length: 6 meters / 7 meters / 8 meters – Height: 2.5 meters / 3 meters – Weight: specify the maximum weight: 3.5 t … etc.

So don’t measure exactly!

7.16 meters or 3,325 kg or height 2.79 meters – the navigation devices do not know such values.


The digital ADAC Card is stored in the app.

As an alternative, I recommend “Magic Earth” – details below.

Magic Earth – The Alternative

Magic Earth – more than just an alternative

Here is our recommendation for a cost-effective app with input options for the vehicle.

Since the summer of 2025, the app has been subject to a fee, but at €0.99 per year it is super cheap.

The motorhome data is entered in the “Trucks” section.

Small disadvantage: From then on, the system warns you about speed because it thinks you are a truck and therefore different speed limits apply.

But I think that a motorhome section will be introduced soon.

Again, please note that when entering the dimensions – (see above in the text ADAC Drive) – use standard values !

The app is very versatile and is being developed rapidly.

And please note: Park4 Night can pass on the data for route calculation directly to Magic Earth – but the route is then first displayed for cars.

So it is mandatory to click on the car icon & select truck.

Again, I think this will come as a default setting at some point, otherwise:

Magic Earth – an app with all the trimmings:

Motorhome data entry

Speed camera warning

Dash Cam Function
