here is the basic scenario: I have an appointment today at my local service center. And when I go to my Service Center messages on the Rivian App and click on the service center address, it comes up with external options for navigation (g-maps, waze, abrp, etc, etc) but the Rivian app is not an option!? So I have to transcribe the service center address back into the Rivian navigation menu and upload it to my R1S, which is not very powerful!! Is there a way to change the App setting so the Rivian App comes up as an option when I click on the address? (am hoping someone here has a quick reply on how-to or not)

Don't think it is. The "easiest" way should be to open Google Maps when you get the option, and from there, you SHARE the location and the Rivian app should be one of the options to share the address with.

Not ideal, but you would avoid the copy-paste or transcribing.

Hey, that worked and is crazy. Thank You!

So in summary cant find a way to have the Rivian App talk to Rivian App but it sends the address to external apps and then can process a google maps shared link (after I added the Rivian App as one of my messaging options to g-maps share menu, LOL)
