2025.22 Update - Official Release Notes (Now With Google Maps Navigation)

[Dark-Fx]

Got the update for my wife's S last week, my T still nothing, but it's been sitting in a place with crappy cell service for weeks (no wifi), so that's probably part of it. connect+.

I tried searching, but I have yet to find anyone report back if the new map software reports red light camera's, speed traps, etc?

It does not. I explained this on another thread, this is how it works with Google maps:

1) You must be logged into your Google account (not possible in the Rivian)
2) You must also be navigating, not just displaying the map (unlike Waze)

I do have this feature on my GM vehicle, but it allows me to log into my Google account and treat the vehicle as a device. It has the reporting button on the map as well.

So disappointing; but not surprising. I've never in my life, committed to a new car with so much disdain before. I was 100% sold on the Lucid Gravity until I found out they won't lease to a business. Fingers crossed they can get this basic functionality in an update soon.

I agree it is disappointing. It is too bad that Rivian will not fully support the Android Automotive features that other OEMs do. Most allow access to the Play Store and allow logging into installed apps, just like on your phone.

I am an iPhone user. On my phone I can read both Apple maps and Google maps just fine in dark mode. My GM truck runs on Android Automotive and it is also very readable.

I just opened the Rivian app on my phone and the map rendering there, using Google is not very clear, the background is definitely darker than Google maps. But the Rivian app is not displaying all the street names, and that is my biggest complaint in my Rivian, the font is gray on top of black, it should be more white to read that tiny font size it dark mode.

Send feedback in the app. I have and hope that with enough, they'll address this. Be detailed. I find it very interesting that you're having the same dark/difficult to read maps in the iPhone app that I'm having on Android. Clearly, they are not doing night/dark correctly.

I came across this in Google maps on phone/Android automotive a few months ago. The current location pointer has avatar options, some of which look a bit like a rivian. I had been wondering for a while if this was some kind of feature leak or signs upcoming of Google support, but figured it was far fetched.

I do not have a rivian yet, so I can not check if this is supported on the new navigation. To change it you have to be actively navigating and then tap on the vehicle pointer. It would be cool if it does work, if not maybe it'll be added.

yes it uses cameras. I know because kids spray painted a 30mph sign to make it read 80mph near me. The Riv says 80mph every time.
