Trip planning in the App

[Stem]

Hi! New R1T Gen2 owner with 1000 miles on the wheels. Absolutely love this vehicle. Planning my first long (ish) trip in early January. The trip planner in the app is not as intuitive as it should be and can be for a tech forward organization. Trial and error and just playing around with it has helped with trip planning, but some things are still a mystery, so looking for some tips and tricks if you haver any - or simply point me to a resource that has been helpful for you - 1). When planning a route, the blue route line goes right through the highway numbers so it's unclear what road I will be on. (ex. If the route suggests I take r81 - the blue line covers the 81 ) i would like to choose the route I want to take and then select the chargers I may need along that route. - not knowing what road it is routing me on makes it unclear if its the route I want or not. 2). When i enter a start time for the trip, the app changes the time and date I am starting when I pull the trip route up on the screen to review the route, but the trip preferences retain the correct start day and time? 3) the route is letting me get down to 49 miles before a stop - will the be too close for comfort? 4) Am i overthinking it all together meaning I should just enjoy the adventure and trust the vehicle to get me from A to B in the quickest way possible with the battery power I need to do so? Thanks for any tips you may have.

Couldn't agree more. #1 particularly, seems like a simple thing. I use google maps or waze to pick the route, figure out where I have to stop, and then select that station from the Rivian nav so it conditions the battery. While it is charging, I do the process again. I only charge enough to get to the next stop, plus a margin for error.

The Blue line overlaying route numbers and other icons (such at traffic lights, which are way too small) is an avoidable mistake that @Rivian needs to fix.
