Gravity Nav HERE map routing

[Smorgasbord]

I like the level of vocal instruction you get with the Lucid Nav. She focuses more on turns and exits calling out stop signs or lights and not naming streets 2 or 3 times per turn. I find with Google Maps (or worse Waze) that there was so much chatter that I would mentally tune it out and then miss turns because of it. The Lucid Nav seems to be better at only talking when there's actually something you need to pay attention to.

I don't disagree with the frequency of what HERE says, but what it says is so off-the-wall as to be confusing.

For instance, exiting for Hwy 85N off of Hwy 17N tells you to take 85 ("C" "A" "eighty-five") towards Gilroy, which is the wrong direction. It does that because the exit is for BOTH directions of 85 and then it splits into two (one for north, one for south). It should never say the wrong way, but it does.

Totally agree that Lucid’s navigation needs to be smarter about using inertial data in its navigation. When I am going across the George Washington Bridge, instead of assuming I am continuing on the interstate like every other navigation does, it begins placing me on surface roads I am driving under. I then get bombarded with nav saying “Re-routing” on repeat for like 45 seconds straight. I have never come across a modern navigation system that struggles with this.
Other nitpicks….stop announcing “rerouting.” Just re-route me if I got a different way. I don’t need the repeated and annoying announcements. Other systems don’t do this. Also, nav needs to stop calling a Route, Rt. No one says “Take Rt. 19 north.” I know it is minor but it drives me nuts and should be such an easy fix. Likewise, as someone else commented, no one says “Take highway two hundred eighty seven.” It should be “two eighty seven.” Again, minor but annoying.

Frankly, after 6M of Gravity ownership I am SICK of HERE maps!
I have posted elsewhere that it contains numerous errors, missing streets (eg my daughter’s who has lived there 5 years), incorrect names and speed limits
Yesterday evening driving out of Boston seaport on I90 ( yes the one that goes to Seattle) HERE maps gets totally lost. The system thinks i am in downtown, rather than I90, so bombards me with a series of turn and u turn instructions! It only recognizes I am on I90 after 10 minutes of 40 mph driving
Thing is my car 10 + years ago was better!
I reiterate getting CarPlay ( or android) is imperative in order to access Google Maps
I love ( almost) everything about my Gravity but HERE maps is a major hassle and in the absence of CarPlay my only reason for NOT recommending Gravity
Lucid please kindly address this asap

One thing I forgot to mention. When you look at the Lucid Gravity vehicle location on the Lucid app ( Apple Maps) it clearly shows the specific street. The same street is NOT shown by HERE ( there, anywhere) maps on the Lucid Nav
( issue : one of many specific streets in MA)

There's a fundamental issue when the car uses a different maps database than the one you live with every day on your phone or desktop. Lucid has migrated to using Apple Maps and Google Maps data in the phone apps so that you can find familiar locations easily. But they don't always translate well to the car's HERE maps, which seems to have far fewer POIs, and sometimes inaccurate names.
