Navigation Overview

The Lucid Navigation App is integrated with your vehicle, providing the best routes based on your driving style and vehicle. You can use the app from either the Pilot Panel or Cockpit Panel, and it can also run in the background when you are on a route.

Key Navigation Features:
  • Search
  • Routing
  • Guidance
  • Maps

To access the Lucid Navigation App, press the icon on the Right Cockpit Panel. The screen will display your current location and street name (where applicable).

Note: When first using the navigation system, the primary user may receive a prompt and must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions before proceeding.

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

The smart drawer can expand the Navigation screen into the Pilot Panel for additional menus unavailable in the Right Cockpit Panel.

Search

There are multiple ways to search in the Lucid Navigation App. The following search features can be accessed from the Right Cockpit Panel or the Glass Cockpit Panel:
  • Use the universal search box to type a name, address, city name, airport code, zip/postal code, category, or brand name via the on-screen keyboard.
  • Select one of the six search categories. Swipe left or right to view additional categories.
  • Create shortcuts for your home and work locations. See Setting Home and Work Destinations.
  • Select from a list of previous destinations or search terms under Recents. Those places will be replaced with search matches if you start typing something.
  • Search in another location by panning the map and tapping Search This Area to refresh the search results with matches in the new area.
When routing, you have the following two additional ways to search for a location:
  • Along the Route: This narrows the search results to along the route ahead, providing up to 60 results. For charging searches, it will list results up to 60 miles ahead as sometimes chargers can be further away.
  • Near Destination: The map will zoom in to show the destination and display up to 60 nearby search results in a radial pattern.

Navigation Settings



Press the icon on the Navigation screen via the Pilot Panel to configure navigation options, including:

  • Satellite Imagery: This toggles preferences for showing Satellite Imagery as the background map. When connectivity is poor, the Satellite images might initially look blurry while they fully load.
    Note: Satellite Imagery cannot load without connectivity or be downloaded offline. If you lose connectivity, turn off Satellite Maps and use previously downloaded standard maps. See Map Updates and Offline Mode.
  • Traffic: This toggles preferences for showing traffic on map, such as flow and incidents. This feature requires connectivity to work. Traffic information on the map may be slow to load when connectivity is poor. Traffic is visible at several zoom levels, including city and street-level views.
  • Offline Mode: The app settings now have an offline mode if users are concerned about privacy. In this mode, you will not be connected to a server, but GPS is still available. Before switching to Offline mode, you must first download maps while connected via Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. While in Offline mode, you can use search (limited to in-map addresses and businesses), routing (not including traffic, EV, or charging details), and turn-by-turn guidance.
    Note: If you lose connectivity and are only using downloaded maps, the number of points of interest for Search will be more limited and the route will no longer be an EV Route (it will not auto-add charge stops, if needed).
  • Offline Maps: Users can now download one or more states or provinces at a time. Offline maps are used when connectivity is lost or in Offline mode. You can also pause and resume a download to control what gets downloaded and when. See Map Updates and Offline Mode.
  • Personal Data: To better personalize trip recommendations, the navigation system collects personal location data, such as home, work, current vehicle location, and state of charge. You can permanently delete your personal data from this screen.
    Note: Only a primary user can accept or reject the Terms and Conditions or delete downloaded maps. If the primary user declines the Terms and Conditions, navigation will stop working for all users until the Terms and Conditions are accepted.
    Anonymous longitude/latitude data is shared with our navigation service partner to enable Search and Routing, but personal data is locally saved. Both primary and secondary users can delete their own data. The navigation will still work in Guest mode after deleting, but home, work, and destination history will be erased.
    Note: Deleting personal location data cannot be undone. Lucid does not store a copy of this data.

You can also set volume level, language, and unit of measurement preferences for your vehicle, including navigation, in Vehicle Settings. See Changing Display Settings.

Charging Category Search

Tap the CHARGING search category icon for the best way to search, sort, and filter Charging Stations locations. These will include dynamic plug type and availability information by Stand (not by Plug) wherever possible. The plug type and availability information require connectivity and are regularly updated directly by the providers.

The default view shows nearby Lucid Charging Partner's DC fast chargers above 150 kilowatts, which provide the best charger user experience.

You can also manually filter options to further sort your options based on criteria such as availability, distance, power, or plug type. Additionally, there is a toggle to see nearby trusted brands.

Note: Only public chargers will be shown.
Note: Your connection will attempt to supply power up to the published power output. The actual power delivery may be lower, depending on external factors, such as outside temperature, power load at the charging station, and age and maintenance of the charging station equipment.
Note: The quality of availability information can vary as it can be affected by connectivity issues as well as numerous real-time variables at the charging station.


Note: DC FAST Chargers are not yet available in some countries. The EV Routing feature will, therefore, not be able to auto-add DC Charging Stops when used in those countries. Because of this, Lucid recommends manually searching for nearby chargers and adding them as stops on your route. However, the new route ETA will not be able to calculate an ETA for manually added stops that include any potential charging time. Allow extra travel time if you manually add a charging stop.

Routing

All Lucid routes are EV Routes by default when connected. These EV Routes are integrated with your vehicle range and consumption profile. When plotting an EV route custom to you in the moment, the Lucid Navigation App also considers the following factors:

  • Road type and speeds for your selected route
  • Current temperature
  • Current traffic conditions and historical traffic conditions (for longer routes)
  • Your current vehicle settings, such as heating and defrost
  • The weight of the vehicle, including passengers and luggage
  • The age of your battery

The map will display an overview of the proposed route on both the Right Cockpit Panel and Pilot Panel once the location is specified. By default, the proposed route is the fastest route with the least overall travel time (driving and charging time combined) and is shown on the map in bright blue. Up to two alternative suggestions may be shown in a lighter blue. All route options will display traffic conditions. If necessary, charge stops will also be auto-added to all route options.

You can preview and plan your route on the MY ROUTE screen before tapping GO.

For EV Routes that require charging stops to safely reach the destination, the app will auto-add DC fast charging stops along with additional details, such as location name, brand name, address, and suggested charge time.



Note: The system predicts the estimated remaining energy when you arrive at a stop or destination. The predicted energy estimation is regularly updated in real time as you drive toward your stop or destination.

After you start driving, alternate navigation routes are continuously displayed on the map. They are easily identifiable by a lighter color and an info bubble displaying the time difference between them.

Note: Alternate routes are offered solely as reasonable alternatives. The default proposed route is the fastest route, with the least overall travel time.

To change routes, tap on the route or the info bubble. The alternate routes will automatically update after a decision point is passed based on new road options and conditions ahead.

The alternate routes provide different options to choose from, allowing you to select the most suitable one for your needs. When connected, the alternate routes will be shown as EV Routes with auto-added stops if needed. However, alternate routes still work for non-EV routes if connectivity is unavailable.

When actively routing, turn-by-turn guidance instructions show on multiple screens once the route has started. If the navigation on the Right Cockpit Panel is replaced with media or the phone app while routing, turn-by-turn instructions will remain in view in the Center Cockpit Panel. Lane guidance, exit numbers, highway numbers, street names, distances, and other guidance details will be displayed when appropriate.

The smart drawer will show a full list of written instructions when you start a trip. This list will automatically minimize after 30 seconds to provide a full-screen view of the map and route. The route view on the map will display all stops and traffic conditions. The smart drawer can be reopened manually by tapping the center icon in the lower left of the Pilot Panel.

Note: When routing starts, a mute button will appear on the Right Cockpit Panel navigation screen, enabling you to turn off audio guidance for the remainder of your trip.

When the next stop is an auto-added charging stop, additional details will be displayed, such as the predicted percent of energy on arrival, suggested plug type to use, charge duration suggestion, and minimum charge percent suggestion. This information will show in both the DETAILS and MANAGE tabs until your route ends. You can tap each auto-added charging stop on the route from the map view to access more details. When you arrive at an auto-added charging stop, this information will remain on the screen until you dismiss it, allowing you enough time to review the recommendation before proceeding.

Note: The Lucid Navigation App calculates predicted energy usage along the route. For more information, see Predicting Energy Usage.

An Insufficient Charge notification will appear if the EV route requires charging but a fast charger cannot be auto-added along the route. In this case, Lucid recommends a manual search for charging. Slow chargers can usually be found and used along the route.

If you deviate from the route at any point, the system will immediately and automatically recalculate a new route and issue new instructions. If you must stop and turn off the vehicle while routing, the route will continue to be displayed on the screen when you return and turn on the vehicle.

Press END or use voice commands, such as cancel navigation, to end navigation.

Adjusting the Map

The maps on either the Right Cockpit Panel or the Pilot Panel can be individually rotated, panned, or zoomed in and out via the touchscreen. The Pilot Panel and Glass Cockpit can maintain their own independent map setting and zoom level whether routing or not.

Pinch or use one finger to double-tap the touchscreen to zoom in on the map. Use two fingers to tap the touchscreen to zoom out. Swipe two fingers on the touchscreen to access a 3D view of the map.

By default, the map centers around your current location and displays the current street name.

The RECENTER button will appear any time the map is manipulated beyond your vehicle’s current position. Tap it to return to your current position.

Touch the icon in the lower right of the map to select from one of five default map viewing modes:

  • Range Map: Shows the approximate range that can be traveled using your current level of charge. See Predicting Energy Usage.
  • 3D Track-Up: Shows a 3D view that tracks your vehicle’s current position and rotates the map to show what is in front of the vehicle.
  • 2D Track-Up: Shows a 2D view that tracks your vehicle’s current position and rotates the map to show what is in front of the vehicle.
  • North-Up: Shows a 2D view where North is always at the top of the map.
  • Route Overview: Shows a 2D view that displays your current route end-to-end and North is always at the top of the map.
    Note: The Route Overview mode will only appear when a route is selected.

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

The map contains features such as real-time traffic, buildings, realistic 3D landmarks in most city centers (when zoomed in), and points of interest. Points of interest can be selected from the map to see details and create a route to them. You can also tap on any other place on the map to view the coordinates and make a route to that point.

Predicting Energy Usage

When connected, the Auto‑Add Charging feature is always ON and helps anticipate the vehicle’s charging needs for a trip. This feature automatically adds DC charging stations to a calculated route, as needed.

Note: You must manually search and add a charging stop to your route if no DC charging stations are available. For manually added chargers, the route ETA calculation will not be able to estimate the required charging time.

Using Range Map Mode

The Range Map viewing mode provides a visual representation of anticipated range based on your current battery state of charge, traffic conditions, elevation changes, and more. To display the Range Map, select the viewing mode using the map controls.



When connected, the Range Map will appear as an irregularly shaped polygon on the map. The shape of the polygon is based on the road network, types of roads, and all other vehicle and road conditions that impact the range calculation.
Note: The Range Map does not automatically refresh when continuously displayed on the map. It must be manually refreshed as needed by switching to another viewing mode and then switching back to the Range Map mode.

Setting Home and Work Destinations

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

If the Home and Work locations are already set in the Search drawer, they can be used as one-touch shortcuts to start a route. Otherwise, type your address in the Search bar, select it to view the Details tab, and then tap the heart icon to save it as your Home or Work location. Home and Work locations can also be set using voice commands and in the vehicle Profile settings.

To remove a location as Home or Work, select Remove in the location's Detail tab.

Map Updates and Offline Mode

The Lucid Navigation App is connected-first, meaning it will first try to get the newest maps around you over a wireless connection. If connectivity is temporarily unavailable, the app will fall back on stored offline maps.

Note: When the Lucid Navigation App is in Offline mode, an icon of a cloud with a line through it will appear on the navigation screens.

When in use, the navigation app will automatically download maps of your immediate surroundings for offline use. The local auto-downloaded maps are self-healing and are automatically updated over the air with no user intervention when they become available and a data connection is present.

Lucid strongly recommends you download your local state or province as a backup map in case connectivity is ever lost. You can download as many maps as you would like and can update them as frequently as you want. A message will appear in Navigation Settings > Download Maps when a map update is available for previously updated maps. Lucid recommends updating your maps frequently as new roads, addresses, and points of interest are regularly added and removed.

When offline, the navigation system can only display and search routes based on the local or downloaded maps. Search results will be labeled as OFFLINE RESULTS and routes will not be based on traffic or EV considerations.

Note: Offline route calculation cannot be completed if any part of the downloaded map is missing.
