A lot of unnecessary voice directions
Quote from Knugge on 25.06.2020, 16:43I have used Scenic now for a bit of riding and one thing that is annoying is that I get a lot of turn directions at intersections that I should not turn in, but just follow the road that I am already driving. Many times I get the instruction to turn a little to the left or right. Usually there is a connecting road that I guess Scenic wants to give me instructions for, but since I should not turn off the road I follow, the instruction becomes unnecessary. Adding that each turn gives 2 to 3 notifications of an upcoming turn plus the notification when I arrive at the turn then the result is that I sometimes get a more or less steady flow of instructions.
I don't know if it is the map it self that is causing this or the instruction functionallity.
One thing, that maybe should have gone into the feature request section, is to have the possiblility to adjust the voice instruction level.
For example a setting where I can choose to have all notifications or maybe only one for a set distance before a turn.

I know about the 'slight left' and 'slight right' instruction that are sometimes unnecessary and are already filtering out some of them. I could filter out more, but that could result in filtering out valid instruction, which is worse in my opinion. Configuration has to be done before shipping the app (done in config files that are shipped with the app), so can't be user configurable either. Sorry.
I'm looking into another provider for Scenic 3 (next season). That will resolve all these problems.
