Is there an option to set the GPS destination by current location or from lat/long coordinates from google maps when the location does not have a street address?
Look up some destination in Google Maps on your phone. If you have the Lucid app installed, you can tap the "share" button (for me there's a row going: Directions, Start, Call, Save, Share, ...), then "share this place", then choose the Lucid app. It'll send that to your car as coordinates. You should see it on the top right screen next time you get in your car.I don’t know how to share it with Lucid.
In my experience, a location found in Google Maps that doesn't have a street address fails to transfer to the Lucid. It seems to only recognize addresses, not GPS coords.Just set a pin the map in Google Maps and click share to Lucid.
New version of Apple Maps in the next iOS will have trailheads which should translate into lat/longs for HERE.In my experience, a location found in Google Maps that doesn't have a street address fails to transfer to the Lucid. It seems to only recognize addresses, not GPS coords.
Worse than that, I have long figured out approximate street addresses for trailheads by interpolating street numbers. But HERE Maps seems to reject such addresses if it thinks it knows there is nothing with that number. For instance, if there's a house at 50 Main St, and one at 54 Main St, with nothing in between, but I want to get to the property line between the two so I enter 52 Main St. HERE will often reject that and instead route me to the middle of the entire length of Main St which might be miles away.
But again I'd expect HERE to map lat/long to its nearest known POI, not to the correct location. HERE seems to have less than 10% of Google's POIs in rural areas.New version of Apple Maps in the next iOS will have trailheads which should translate into lat/longs for HERE.
I was going to disagree with this, that it is not possible to share a lat/long location. But it occurred to me that I haven't tried it in months. And amazingly, this now works. It sure didn't last summer. I never saw it mentioned in any release notes, so assumed this was still broken. That's another reason that Lucid's terrible release notes with each firmware update are disappointing--they actually fixed something and didn't tell anyone.... which should translate into lat/longs for HERE.
