Improve Navigation Safety
Turn instructions for intersections are given with only distance and not including street names. The final turn instruction is given about 50 feet from the intersection, resulting in missed turns and abrupt maneuvers by drivers.
Two suggestions;:
1) Give turn instructions with distance and the street name. Example turn left in 1/4 of a mile on State street.
2) Give the final turn instruction sooner so that the driver can have time to signal, change lanes or slow down to prepare for the turn.

Some users complain that the lane guidance can be confusing when two intersections follow each other at a short distance. They think they have to turn right but it turns out you should turn right 300m later.
is there a way to communicate more clearly if the instruction is for the next intersection or for a later one? -

Sounds like you are using the "brief instructions" setting. There are navigation settings that will give you the street name (usually 2 or 3 times) before the turn. Check your settings.

It took me about 20 minutes to complete this form on my iPhone due to glitches in your system. How Many many people would’ve given up after five minutes of frustration never posted their comment?
