Riser app reliability?

So I just started planning my 1st big trip and the Riser shows an 9 hour commute for 700km while every other navigation shows much longer trips.

What is your go-to for planning and navigating on such trips.

Cheers

Just go with Google maps, you can specify the time of day for a route and you'll get predicted congestion delays as well. Mind you that congestions on highways you can filter through (depending on where in the world you are).

Try not to plan your days too busy. Leave slack for unexpected stops. Nothing worse than having to fly by something interesting just because your plan is not flexible enough.

700 km in 9 hours implies a lot of highway/autobahn. If so, it may be true, if not, you'll most probably be slower.

Try to check with Google for top down estimation and especially road closures, then check with Kurviger - it gives quite realistic estimations for motorcycle in my experience. Remember that no app knows about your stops, so plan them accordingly.
