This update makes navigation dramatically smoother and gives Rove AI a major upgrade. ROVE AI - Take yourself anywhere by voice. Say "route me to McDonald's" and the route starts in about a second, even on a weak signal - Add stops without touching the screen. Say "add a stop at Starbucks" mid drive and Rove reroutes through it - Ask if a place is open, get the weather at your destination, or share your ETA, all by voice - Ask "tell me about" any landmark and Rove tells you its story as you drive past - The mic now closes the moment you finish talking and responses come back noticeably faster - Your ETA is now spoken naturally, like "about half a mile to go, you'll be there in three minutes" NAVIGATION - The puck now glides smoothly with the road and holds steady through turns - Recalculating after a missed turn keeps the map calm and eases you onto the new route - Smarter GPS filtering keeps you on the road through tunnels, garages, and dense city blocks - The map arrow points exactly where you're heading, even at low speeds CARPLAY - The camera now follows cleanly behind you during turn by turn, just like on iPhone - The map opens to a proper city overview, and one tap on the compass drops you into 3D driving view - Swipe the map naturally with your finger, it glides and stays where you leave it - A brand new location puck that stays readable on any map style, day or night - Trip Actions now lists your stops, lets you remove them, and always has a way back - Tapping a parking spot or search result during navigation adds it to your route instantly - Add Stop now uses the full search page with categories, favorites, and recents - Nearby search now finds places around your car, not where you started - Voice search closes and searches the moment you stop talking - The navigation banner now matches your light or dark appearance BUG FIXES - Fixed the puck twitching during route recalculation - Fixed a route preview appearing after ending a route - Fixed the route line staying on the map after canceling a preview - Fixed the navigation arrow rendering oversized on CarPlay - Additional stability and performance improvements
