Lane Guidance Missing On City Streets

Bug Reports

In many cities there are complex multi-lane intersections where it would really help to have more guidance than just turn left or right or go straight. Does ABRP know how to provide lane guidance on non-highway roads? If so, where does it get the information? It doesn’t seem to be picking up changes made in Open Street Map.

    To add to this, there are quite a few cases around here where it would be very nice to have lane guidance while going straight — where roads are multi-lane and only some of the lanes go straight.

    Would it be possible on the black “continue straight” tiles to include an indication of which of the lanes at the upcoming intersection you need to be in to continue straight (assuming that OSM has the lanes mapped correctly).

    This route plan shows a couple of examples of where this would help:

    Crossing Pt Fosdick on Olympic you need to be in the 2nd lane from the right (right hand lane is right only to Pt Fosdick. Then you need to get into the right hand lane rather quickly to avoid the two lanes to the left which go onto WA-16.

    Hi

    We had a similar post yesterday and we will look at this and see if we can be more clear with the navigation. If you have an example where there should be more guidande please add screen shots from your trip.
