REQUEST: Show current town in Google Maps

[TractorJackie]

I didn't realize how much I relied on this in my Tesla until I got a Rivian. Google Maps in Rivian does not tell you your current location, which would be very helpful, especially on road trips. Wondering how hard it would be to add this.

Great idea. I would also like a reminder of what planet I'm on, if possible...

No, really you don't--it's depressing.

Isn't that replaced with the distance to your next turn when you have a navigation destination set?

Good question. I think it might.

It's unknown how many of the thousands of posts Rivian actually monitors. If you haven't done so, may I suggest sending them a suggestion directly:
Open the Rivian app and scroll to the bottom. Select "Share Feedback." Answer "No" to "Is this service related?"
Enter your suggestion.
You won't get an acknowledgement, but there's a much higher probability of Rivian seeing your feedback.

THANK YOU. I was looking for that.

Because when she's driving on a trip and a friend calls and says, "Where are you now?" it's handy to glance over and tell them, "I'm in Azalea, Oregon!"

Hey! There it is!! Thanks! Hadn't seen that. I've only had my car for 2 weeks.

Yeah they really need to add this feature. The driver screen only shows it when it's in park, not while you're driving, especially if you have navigation on.
