Treat roundabout like a normal "+" intersection for voice guidance
Please add the ability to minimize certain types of messages. I live where there are roundabouts every mile (or closer together) and typically everybody goes "straight" - as if it was a normal intersection. Hearing "take the second exit to stay on *** road" is torture after hearing it a dozen times. Please make a setting that turns those off. I only need to know when I need to turn off the main road. Just like any other normal intersection. Mute voice guidance when it is telling me to stay on the same road. This could become part of a customization panel for the level of detail in guidance for many conditions.

In countries with unhealthy obsession with roundabouts, navigation talks CONSTANTLY repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ... you get the idea.
It's not just annoying, it's down-right dangerous. It steals the driver's focus and makes them progressively more angry. Especially when it constantly interrupts music, radio, audiobooks or whatever more interesting is playing.
Drivers are not stupid, they don't need to hear about roundabouts three times in a row every few hundred meters. Get rid of all the announcements as they are and have just one at about 3-6 seconds before the roundabout that doesn't include the distance to the roundabout.
Also, many voices have a stupidly long pauses in the announcements: "In four hundred meters...(2 sec pause)..at the roundabout... (3 seconds pause) .... take the Nth exit". The pauses probably take more time than the rest of the whole announcement.

As more roundabouts are built, this issue is annoying more people daily.
