This is relevant for long/tricky routs in traffic with many alternatives.
When I press "routs" near a junction, I am usually presented 3 best routs. But it does not really matter to me at this moment which street to choose in 40 minutes from now; the relevant choice at this point is whether to turn right or keep straight.
Therefore, please give me the best routes for the major different options for the current point. I want to know whether to stay on the highway or to enter the city, even if the 3 best routs all go through downtown. Often, if I see that on highway I will only lose 5 minutes, I prefer to use this less stressful route.
Also, related is the situation when the routes cross somewhere in the middle; i.e. I am going from A to B and all three suggested routes go through the same point C, but they continue differently from there, too. Such alternatives are irrelevant: let the routing refine the decision when I come closer to point C, with updated traffic information.
