2025.22 Update - Release Notes

[joem]

Could also mean the vehicle update has functionality tied to the new mobile app version.

I thought all the functionality was known per the release notes already available?

Interesting. Wonder what the deal is. I guess we just got spoiled with the monthly updates. Maybe this will be the new normal. I guess there is only so much they can do.

So they are late for beta testing and it’s the new normal?

Not necessarily. They could release notes and add features/fixes during beta testing. I just checked riviantrackr.com and see the notice below posted for this update. I don’t recall ever seeing this for past updates. Anyway, s00n.

“This software update is still in beta testing and hasn’t been released to the general public. Features may be added or removed, and the release notes are subject to change before the final version is available.”

That's cool. It'll be interesting to go see the depth of implementation with people's Google account. On the phone, even contacts are mapped. Will terrain and 3d work? Will it work offline because if not, it will be a huge step backward.

My biggest struggle with mapping is the impossibly small fonts for street names and objects.

Nothing on electrrafi for this release at all, not even the customary 2-3 vehicles for a month while the rest of us wait.

My guess, like the current navigation, the connect + subscription will be required for the full functionality. I'm sure you can navigate without the subscription and get charging stops, but you'll miss a lot of the bells and whistles (3d, satellite, location information, pictures, reviews, etc.).

Should be a huge nav improvement. Recently my gen2 R1T nav tried to send me onto a reversible lane going the wrong direction and then straight into a traffic logjam. Can’t wait.

Holy crap!

One of things I miss the most about my Mach-e was the Google Maps integration. In that case, it is Android Auto with Google Maps integrated with the car so that Maps can predict the charge at destination. It is highly accurate and even starts the preconditioning process as you get close to a charger destination.

I hope this is released soon as it looks better in some ways over the Ford AA approach.

Gen 1 and Gen 2?

I hope they put the street names back on the driver's mini-map. I really miss that.

This is exciting!

Anything other items in this update?

I don't have a Connect+ subscription, and can currently see location info & photos when searching for a place.... which is what is gonna come to directly tapping on a place on the map with this next update. If that level of functionality stays the same after the move to Google Maps, then that will be nice. We'll find out soon, I guess.

Ben Franklin invented this thing called bifocals in 1785 and they work ... terrific for me.
