(Android, with OSM)
Hi,
the command "Go straight ahead" is quite often used in a confusing/misleading manner. (Often enough that by now I have become accustomed to taking a quick look at the map whenever, in unfamiliar territory, I hear "go straight ahead".)
Quite often what it really means is "follow the road you are on", when, for example, the main road goes to the left at an angle and a side street continues straight ahead, or even when there is no "straight ahead" because there's a "y" shaped fork.
In other cases I've no idea why the "straight ahead" command is given - mostly on autobahns: at "clover leaf" intersections, when I have to use the 90 degree right turn, mostly I'm told "take the exit, then turn right", but sometimes it's "take the exit, then go straight ahead".
Is there anything YOU can do to remove these misdirections?
...or is there anything we users can do with the OSM maps when we come across such a spot?
