When I click on the POI filter in the Navigation Drawer, I can see a list of just the upcoming POI's (I prefer the term Waypoint).  I would very much like this filter to be carried over to the Turn prompt that is displayed on every data page.

 

Currently the Turn prompt shows the distance to both Turn-by-Turn and POIs.  I would like the filter setting in the navigation drawer to control if l see just the next POI or just the next Turn or both in this prompt.

  Hi, thank you for sharing your suggestion regarding the Navigation Drawer and Turn-by-Turn display. 

  Currently, the Turn prompt shows both the next turn and nearby POIs, while the POI filter in the Navigation Drawer doesn’t affect this display. We agree that letting the Turn prompt follow the POI filter would be useful.  Karoo OS - Turn-by-Turn Directions

  I would like to add a little more information to this request - I recently did a trial of another brand GPS specifically to test out their display screen showing a list of all POIs (waypoints) and dynamic distances to each waypoint relative to my current position, which is something I've request in the past for my Karoo. 

  After riding a couple of routes I've concluded that I don't really care anymore.  I didn't find the dynamic list of all distances to the POIs at all interesting and all I really care about is the distance to my NEXT poi relative to my current position. This is something I already get from my K3.  And further, the other unit required me to change screens to see that distance. 

  If this modification is made so the distance to my next POI is shown on the Turn-by-Turn prompt (on all my data screens), that plus the navigation drawer showing me a list of my upcoming POIs is exactly what would work best for me.

  And finally, after trying out the alternative, I find that the current K3 display that shows me the distance between the POIs (after the next one) is much more helpful to me than a full list relative to my current position.

  Edit: One more thing that would be helpful - if there was a default setting for the Nav drawer so it would always start out with POI only (or either of the other two options).
