I actually see very little of the map and often times when I need to see it to make a quick decision on direction, I cannot see anything because of the enormous bubbles.
It seems you cannot change the size of anything in the UI and just about everything is way bigger than it needs to be.

bubbles masks intersections
urgently offer the ability to erase these street names

Please let us remove this street name tooltip. I don't understand why dev put that, we don't care 300km far from our destination to know the street names and we can't see anything. It can be dangerous. I stoped using your app because of that
And we are 7years after this post you just don't care about our remarks you prefer to put batman, or federer voice. Really good choice.. It's just common sense

Totally agree. It's annoying because it appear over everything making impossible to follow the route. Make it optional, if you like it - use it, but for a lot of us it's a cause to use other navigators as it's impossible to disable it.

Need an option to display or not names, making the map confusing and hiding important road design

would be nice to have an option to switch off the street name bubbles altogether or at least make them a seethrough, thanks

Transparence des bulles de noms de rue ou même disparition quand elles passent sur les rues

Não exibir balões com nome das ruas durante o percurso. Dificulta a leitura e interpretação do mapa.

Retirer les bulles indiquant le nom des rues lorsque la bulle est positionnée sur le côté masquant d'autres signalements ou voies.

The option of remove the street's names to avoid interference with the route. Specially when you need to make a turn or a change and the signal is in the middle...

Too often the purple bubble with the street name hides the road so I have to guess which direction to take.
While driving, 95% of the time, I do not care about the street name but follow the graphical map.
Can you please add an option to hide the street names bubbles ?
I'm switching to Google Maps or Apple Maps because of this problem.

Je suis entièrement d'accord

Many people seem to have the same issue. Surprised this has been reported for so long, and still a problem.

Avoir la possibilité de ne pas faire apparaître les bulles avec le nom des rues sur la carte car cela gene la vision de celle ci...

Those bubbles must have a switch off in settings.

When two roads are close together I have turned down the wrong street so many times, stopped using the app when driving taxi for this reason... it's so dangerous to have the upcoming turn concealed by the road name especially... could put that on the side away from exactly where the turn is...

It has proved to be dangerous particularly in European countries with roundabouts. I cannot see the route at all because the street name is huge on top.

Hello, I suggest to activate an option not to display the names of the streets that hide parts of the route, especially the complex crossings, because you may not take the right direction while driving.

Hello. Please provide an option to disable the street names that are displayed in purple, because often these names block the road, turns, etc.
