This is likely nothing new, I saw something similar last year going from the west valley to Carlsbad. Carlsbad is essentially the same distance via I-8 or I-10, but last year PlugShare showed a lot of issues with I-8 chargers. I planned it on the phone to stop in Indio, then on to Carlsbad. Got in the truck and it routed me south to I-8. I ignored it and blew by Az 85, then it wanted me to stop in Quartzsite, when that was unnecessary. The nav seems to be set up to pick every Ran on the route as a stop.I have a few quibbles, and one serious disappointment with the Route Planning portion of navigation. We make quite a few trips to San Diego from our location here in AZ and the quickest route is always the same.
Friday morning we left from Gilbert, AZ to San Diego, CA (using standard I-8 plan) and the route planning wanted to take us 1hr. 25 further to the I-10 to Quartzsite RAN, then cut across through Blythe, CA and by Glamis sand dunes then reconnect to I-8 to San Diego. I reset, did it 3x and same route. Ignored it.
On the way home from San Diego today via the I-8, it wanted me to use an EA charger in El Centro, CA then work my way through Brawley, CA past Glamis Dunes and onto the I-10 and Quartzsite RAN again. This was now 1hr 30 minutes longer than taking I-8 to Gila Bend RAN and route through Maricopa and home.
I ignored the route planning and it recalculated after skipping the suggested stop in El Centro. 4 minutes from the RAN in Gila Bend, AZ up popped a new route to save time. I knew it was incorrect, but selected it and now it desired to reroute me 28 minutes out of my way back up to I-10.
The updated map software for the route planning for me, went well backwards. Is Rivian Support the best way to advise them?
