Why do I find that confusing? Currently in general the directions ignore corners even if there are roads going off those corners. The complaint is about 'extra' directions where the corner is actually the main road and the straight on branch is the turning. If the directions remain silent one would in some conditions get confused so the safe thing to do is announce both? The correct wording of the the directions should be perhaps 'road bares right' and 'go straight on' rather than 'turn right' but that does need the perhaps missing "through_route" information? As I said, the inclusion of road names in OSMAND while useful at times does get similarly annoying when a 'continue on Axxx' would suffice. In this case the road id provides the "through_route" information ... one remains on the same road ... and the straight on road has a different one which may just be 'minor road'. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
