Road signs in navigation
I've been thinking about this for a while. It would be nice to get an indication of what the road signs should say when approaching a turn in the route. I know it's not possible to add this kind of information in the editor at this point, but I have a suggestion:
Why not make the road sign information available as an attribute to the junction arrow. That way it should be possible to assign road sign information where it should be. And the client will of course read this attribute if existing and present it to the driver instead of the name of the road segment I'am turning on to. Some roads don't have names but lead to places that are mentioned on the sign in the junction.
That way we could have sign information where it is applicable and streetnames in cities for example. In Sweden almost all roads have a number, but that number doesn't neccesarily give any information about where the road takes me. Enabling it in this fashion would also allow for exit sign information i roundabouts. Just a thought, it would be much appreciated by me and probably a couple more users.
Thank you for considering this. I can develop my thoughts further if needed.
And thank you for providing us with such a great navigator app.
Cheers
