The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is picking up pace, and with it comes the need for reliable and user-friendly charging solutions. The GO TO-U app has been developed specifically for EV drivers who seek confidence, comfort, and simplicity during their charging experiences. We are committed to continually enhancing our existing features and augmenting our product with new, beneficial functionalities. To facilitate your familiarization with the app and ensure its straightforward use, we present this comprehensive guide to the app's key features.

Searching for a Charging Station, Filtering, and Map Navigation

How to Find the Necessary Charging Station on the Map?

  1. On the main screen, the 'Map' tab opens automatically. If the app settings allow the use of geolocation, your current location will be displayed right away. You can choose the charging station that is nearest to you. If the station you need is located somewhere else, simply move the map to explore other regions, countries, provinces, or cities.
  2. For a more detailed view, you can zoom in or out using the touchpad. Pinch your fingers towards each other to zoom in or move them apart to zoom out.
  3. As soon as you have selected the required charging station, just proceed to its location on the map to get more information or directions on how to get there.

Note: You can also perform a search by entering the name of the location in the search window.

How to Filter Charging Stations by Type of Infrastructure?

  1. On the main screen, navigate to the "Map" tab, which is displayed by default when entering the app. At the top, just below the search window, select the necessary infrastructure object from the options provided, such as "Hotels", "Restaurants", "Groceries", etc.
  2. After that, select the required type of object.
