Navigation Overview

To access navigation, press the icon on the right Glass Cockpit Panel. This screen will display your current location and street name (where applicable).

If you pan away from the current location, the street name will be replaced by a recenter button. Touching Recenter is a quick way to return to the default view showing the current position.

Note:

The user profile that first uses the navigation system will receive a prompt, and that user must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions before proceeding.

The smart drawer can expand the Navigation screen into the Pilot Panel for additional details menus not available in the smaller Glass Cockpit Panel.

Navigation Settings

On the Pilot Panel, press the icon on the Navigation screen to configure navigation options, including:

  • Offline Mode: Navigation App Settings now has an offline mode if users are concerned about privacy. GPS will still be available, but you will not be connected to a server. Before using this mode, you must first download maps to use in offline mode.

  • Downloadable Maps: Users can now download one or more states or provinces at a time.

    Downloadable maps are used when connectivity is lost. You can also pause and resume a download to control what gets downloaded and when.

    Note: When connectivity is lost, and when using only downloaded maps, the number of Points of Interest for Search is more limited, and the route is no longer an EV Route - it won't auto-add charge stops if needed.
  • Personal Data: The navigation system collects personal location data to improve your trip recommendations. If you wish to permanently delete your personal data, such as when you sell your vehicle, you may do so from this screen.
    Note: Only a primary user can accept or reject Terms and Conditions or delete downloaded maps. If the primary user declines Terms and Conditions, navigation stops working for all users until Terms and Conditions are accepted.

Anonomyous Longitude/Latitude data is shared with our navigation service partner to enable Search and Routing, but personal data is saved locally. Both primary or secondary users can delete their own data. After deleting, navigation still works but home, work, and destination history is erased.

Note: Deleting personal location data cannot be undone. Lucid does not store a copy of this data.

Navigating

To navigate to a location, open the smart drawer on the right Glass Cockpit Panel to select a destination. Use voice commands to navigate hands-free. Tap the search icon of choose from one of the search category shortcuts or recent destinations and search terms.

Move the smart drawer into the Glass Cockpit Panel to access additional options:

  • Use the Search bar to type in an address via the on-screen keyboard.
  • You can also select one of the six categories. Swipe left or right to view additional categories.
  • Make your own shortcuts for HOME and WORK: Select from your saved home and work locations. See Setting Home and Work Destinations.
  • When you tap the search bar, by default you will see RECENTS: Select from a list of recently-used destinations or search terms. If you start typing something, those will be replaced with search matches.
  • Search this Area (at another location on the map if you pan the map).
  • Satellite: Toggle preference for showing a satellite imagery map instead of a standard navigation map as your background map. Satellite maps are available only when connected, and they use more wireless data than standard maps. We recommend downloading your local navigation map to have as a back-up map when connectivity is interrupted.
When routing, you have two additional ways to search:
  • Along the Route
  • Near Destination

Charging Category Search

From the main Navigation smart drawer, tap the CHARGING category to view nearby charging stations. Where possible, these include plug type and availability information. (This information requires data connectivity).

The default view shows nearby Lucid Charging Partner's DC fast chargers above 150 kilowatts, which provide the best charger user experience. There is a switch to turn off Electrify America only, which allows you to see a mix of nearby charging providers.

You can also manually sort and filter based on criteria like availability, distance, power, plug type, or charging vendor, such as Electrify America or Electrify Canada.

Routing

All Lucid routes are EV routes. Lucid EV routes are integrated with your vehicle range and consumption profile. It considers not just the current state of charge, road profile, temperature, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) and traffic conditions, but it also predicts your unique vehicle consumption over time under those conditions.

Once a location is specified, the map will display an overview of the proposed route on both the center Glass Cockpit Panel and the Pilot Panel. Up to three route options will be shown, each with its own written summary and visual display on the map. The recommended top option is the fastest route (the least driving time), and it will be shown on the map in blue. Other alternative suggestions are shown on the map in gray. Traffic conditions on each route will be included. If charge stops are required, they will be auto-added to all three routes and will be displayed on all three routes.

Before you tap GO, you can preview and plan your route on the MY ROUTE screen, which will show up to three route options including the estimated time of arrival (ETA), total distance, and traffic conditions along the route. If the route requires charging stops to reach the destination, charging stops will automatically be added and shown on this screen as well.

Note: Because the Auto‑add Charging feature is enabled by default, the system automatically calculates the battery power needed for the trip and the recommended charging time for each charging stop.
Note: In some countries, DC FAST Chargers are not yet available. Therefore, the EV Routing feature will not be able to auto-add DC Charging Stops. In this case, Lucid recommends manually searching for nearby chargers and adding them as stops on your route. For manually added stops of any kind, even charging stops, the new route ETA will not be able to calculate an ETA that includes any potential charging time. Allow extra travel time if you manually add a charging stop.

Once the route has started, the turn-by-turn guidance instructions are shown on the top navigation screen. Lane guidance, exit numbers, and other guidance details will be displayed when appropriate. While routing, if the navigation is replaced with media or phone, navigation instructions will remain in view in the center Glass Cockpit Panel while a route is in progress.

The MANAGE tab summarizes the stops and their specific details. The DETAILS tab lists every turn and stop along your route.

When the system automatically adds charging stops, extra details are provided for each stop such as estimated percent on arrival, suggested plug type to use, suggested number of minutes to charge for, and suggested minimum percent to charge up to. This information will persistently show in both the DETAILS tab and the MANAGE tab until your route ends. You can also tap each waypoint on the route directly from the map view to see more details.

When starting a trip, the smart drawer will show a full list of instructions. This list automatically minimizes after thirty seconds in order to use the full screen for viewing your maps and route. The route will display all of your stops and traffic conditions. The smart drawer, with the list of instructions and details about your stops, can be manually reopened. You can add, reorder, or delete stops.

If at any point you deviate from the route, the system will quickly and automatically recalculate a new route and immediately give new guidance instructions.

While routing, if you have to stop and turn off the vehicle, and you come back and turn on the vehicle, the route will continue to be present on the screen.

Press END or use voice commands ("Cancel navigation") to end navigation.

The Lucid navigation system will periodically check that predicted charge on arrival is still correct. It checks everytime you finish charging, everytime you reach a low state of charge, and every fifteen minutes while routing. If the EV routing conditions have significantly changed and the route needs to be refreshed, a notification will appear and will ask you to agree to a new route.

If for some reason the EV route requires charging, but a fast charger could not be automatically added along the route, an Insufficient Charge notification will be shown inside navigation. In this case, we recommend that you manually search for charging. Usually, slow chargers can be found along the route and can be used.

Note: When routing starts, a mute button will appear on the top navigation screen, which enables you to turn off the audio guidance.

Adjusting the Map

The maps on either the center Glass Cockpit Panel and the Pilot Panel can be individually rotated, panned, or zoomed in and out via the touchscreen. Any time the map is manipulated beyond your vehicle’s current position, the RE-CENTER button will appear; tap it to return to your current position.

To zoom in the map, use one finger to double tap the touchscreen. To zoom out the map, use two fingers to tap the touchscreen. To see a 3D view of the map, swipe two fingers on the touchscreen.

The map centers around your current location by default, and the current street name is displayed.

The Pilot Panel and Glass Cockpit Panel can maintain their own independent map setting and zoom level while routing or not routing. Touch the icon in the lower right of the map to change default views:

  • Range Map: Shows the approximate range that can be traveled using your current level of charge
  • 3D Track-Up: 3D view that tracks your vehicle’s current position
  • 2D Track-Up: 2D view that tracks your vehicle’s current position
  • North-Up: 2D view where North is always at the top of the map
  • Route Overview: Displays your current route

Once you start manually interacting with the map, the default views will be ignored, and the system will maintain your personal user mode until you select one of the default views listed above again.

Note: The Route Overview option only appears when a route is selected.

The map contains features such as real time traffic, realistic 3D landmarks, and points of interest. The points of interest can be selected from the map to see details and make a route to them. You can also tap a random place on the map to see their coordinates and make a route to that point.

In the Navigation app settings, it is also possible to turn on and off traffic and satellite maps.

Predicting Energy Usage

The Auto‑add Charging feature is always on and will help anticipate the vehicle’s charging needs for a trip. This feature automatically adds DC charging stations to a calculated route as needed.

Note: If no DC charging stations are available, you must manually search and add a charging stop to your route. The ETA will not reflect the added charging time, so please plan accordingly.

Using Range On Map

The Lucid Range On Map provides a visual representation of anticipated range for the given battery state of charge, traffic conditions, elevation changes, and more. To display the Range On Map, select the feature using the map controls.

Setting Home and Work Destinations

Common destinations such as your home or workplace can be designated accordingly in the system, allowing you quick access within the Navigation menus.

When destination details are displayed in the smart drawer, press an option to  Set as Home or  Set as Work. Home and work locations can also be set using voice commands and in vehicle Settings.

The applicable icon will appear next to the destination under its details.

Once a destination is set in this manner, the option under its details will change to Remove.

Map Updates and Offline Mode

Your in-car Navigation system is connected-first, which means it will first try to get the freshest maps around you over a wireless connection. If connectivity is temporarily unavailable, the system will fall back on using maps stored offline (on-board). Offline maps are those maps which the system has previously auto-downloaded (usually your local area), or maps which you manually downloaded from Nav Settings. Lucid strongly recommends you download your local state or province as a backup map in case connectivity is lost. You can download as many maps as you want, and you can update (delete and re-download) them as often as you want. Downloading requires connectivity and is very fast when you have strong connectivity.

When a data connection is present, the "self-healing maps" are updated automatically over-the-air with no user intervention as they become available.

When your vehicle does not have an available wireless internet connection, the navigation system will pull from any existing map data that was automatically downloaded and stored by the vehicle based on driving and search history. Any resulting information displayed will be labeled as OFFLINE RESULTS, and will not include live traffic conditions, EV-style routing, charge plug availability.
