current road name
I would like to see a feature similar to Garmin and other gps units that displays the current road I you ar driving on. This would be for when you are not using navigation directions but rather just driving around on day to day activity's. This could also replace the wording at the bottom of the screen that says something like good morning, which is where it could display the current street that you are on. This would helpful when I am out just driving around and want to know what street I am on with out looking for a street sign or fumbling around in the app to touch on the arrow icon showing where I am at for this information. I could also seeing this help out with law enforcement, taxi drivers, and other such people who need to know where they are at or coming up to at all times.

Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

This is a great idea. I recently noticed the difference when navigating compared to not navigating and not sure why this was omitted. 100% having the street name traveling on either when navigating or not navigating is a needed feature and very easy to implement since they already have it not when navigating.

Display the current road/location of where you are at the bottom of the screen.
This could be helpful in case of emergencies or if you break down.

Hey! It would be really useful if you put the current place if we click to the blue arrow during driving. Thx

Add the city or town to the current location.

Especially when driving in unknown areas, but also known areas: It would be helpful if you can tap a button and it tells you where you are, for example:
* 5 km from town A,
*12 km from town B
* near 32 Street Name, between Street A and Street C
* 23 km from next exit to Town C,
* 2 km south of previous exit to town A.This can also be used to report accidents and problems to the authorities.

Create a command to show, on the top of the map, the name of the city where I am now.

I think a great idea would be to have the name of the city/town in which you are traveling appear at the bottom of the screen between the two touch buttons.
Nothing in too large a font in that it adds more screen clutter, because the screen is very tidy as is.
However, I think it would be nice to have the city/town name there especially for those of us addicted to "checking in" and would use it to check into each city upon entering.
Yay? Nay? :)
