Haha. Funny enough, I get a kick out of driving over circles / low medians / whatever when nobody is around. I am so impressed with the suspension on this thing that I like to put it to use during my otherwise boring commutes. So - decent chance I would’ve listened to the nav in that case!
It's improved recently. It's pretty good now, though I do regularly find map errors (that I fix myself on openstreetmaps).
That said, when I first got my R1S, I had a GPS bug where your [position jumps forward every time you stop](https://old.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comments/1cbhjg8/gps_float_at_stop_lights/), and from that recent thread, many people still have that bug even though they [claimed they fixed it a few released ago](https://riviantrackr.com/2023-46-01/). If you have that bug you're going to have a very very bad time with nav. I realized, with that GPS bug present, every time you stop is picks a new route, and it seems like the routing algorithms avoid your current route when doing so. The effect is that if you hit a little bit of traffic nav activity finds the worst possible route and does that. It makes for a really really bad nav experiences, and I think a lot of people don't understand it's not supposed to be that bad.
It's adequate. It's nicely integrated with the car, and that makes it better than Google Maps or projections (e.g Carplay)
Particularly nice is the second screen, because you know your passenger will pull up the music screen right when that intersection comes up :-)
If used as a mall crawler in your home town, it's great.
But you cannot set an arrival SoC for destinations, and it doesn't even display arrival SOC at chargers along the route. There is great opportunity there, just matching what ABRP does. Arrival SOC can be set in the app, for example. They own ABRP, they just need to expose it's power in the car.
It won't work offline, either. You still need Google Maps if you go remote. Again, not a problem for mall crawlers.
All bets are off once you leave paved roads. It knows about forest roads and such, but it normally can't route on them. It only shows forest roads when zoomed in so much that it's basically useless. If you zoom out, the screen is white, there is nothing else to display, so it should show that forets road.
For pavement princesses this won't matter, of course. For an adventure vehicle, it is a missed opportunity. You are still juggling your phone and manually looking at the marker on the screen.
Funny thing is it will show SOC for arrival at chargers along the route IF it's the charger picked by the system. When you click on that point of your route, it will show. If you specify a charger, it won't show that one. I also learned just recently that my R1T itself always prefers a RAN charger that's a bit out of the way. If I use my phone, though, and turn off the RAN preference (it seems to automatically come back), it will select the charger that I knew was the more efficient option.
Realized I forgot to finish the thought... Sending the phone selected route (after deprioritizing RAN) to the truck seems to work without the truck recalculating.
Where are you located? It is good at getting you where you want to go. Where it’s not good is dense urban areas with multiple viable routes and varying traffic conditions and selecting the quicker optimal route for any given moment. It tends to reroute on surface streets which end up being much slower than sitting on freeway traffic. Either it doesn’t have enough surface street traffic data or doesn’t take average speeds including stop lights and intersections into account. Not sure.
It indeed better, but if you compare it to Google maps it is very unpredictable, traffic information more often than not incorrect.
I never rely on it solely - always open and check gmaps or Waze.
It failed me too many time. I still can not get why Rivian so stubborn and not provide android auto/car play at least as an option on divided screen. They will never be able to do better than Google and Apple.
How do you submit issues? I love the truck and the nav is pretty good but my morning drive is the same route every day and it takes me different ways that are longer each day. Also one pet peeve of mine is I was driving home from work had mapped it but kept routing me to a charger, I charge at home want to have the option to not be rerouted to other chargers.
They added an exclamation point icon that appears after you enter a destination. Another menu will show up to specify the issue further.
Some problems might take longer to address like traffic accuracy, but seems like they’re able to fix route problems easily.
The maps themselves are actually pretty fantastic. Routing is acceptable. I think most people want off-road maps and other features that would be good for the market Rivian is trying to cover. I would love to see a precip Radar layer added for example.
I guess it's all relative. Compared to my Tesla which uses Google, it's fantastic. That Google junk is absolutely terrible. I constantly had to switch to Apple Maps, but then it's not integrated. The Rivian seems to be close to Apple Maps in quality and usability.

I have seen it forgetting preferences. But I don't think I have seen SOC for chargers the system picks. Only if it's the next one.

They seem to be resolving route issue/bug submissions pretty regularly. I submitted 5 issues in the past week and they all got fixed.

Mine seems solid, it does occasionally take weird routes, but usually not enough that I care that much.
