Next Turn Indicator
Quote from eric80 on 08.11.2020, 06:28Wondering if it might be possible to allow users to change the behavior of the "next turn" indicator in navigation. Currently, it will show a straight arrow with a distance indicating "continue straight for x miles." This the changes at some distance just before a turn. I would like to only see the next upcoming turn direction with the distance to that turn. Ideally, there would be a second smaller icon showing the second turn as well.

I was thinking about your request and couldn't at first see what is wrong with a straight arrow and distance to go. Then it dawned on me that you are absolutely right the straight arrow symbol is like the voice instruction 'Follow the road' its irrelevant. Of cause you are going to continue straight ahead. However with the next turn direction and distance to go, you get more information. So for example a nice big roundabout symbol with 2 in the centre and distance to go, immediately tells you to, relax ride the road until the next roundabout where you take the second exit. That gives you more information than just a straight arrow. Nice one.
