Navigation turn signals

Not planned

When using navigation on the Karoo 2 sometimes the turn prompts show a bold clear arrow pointing left or right. But for some reason occasionally it shows a smaller arrow with a line (presumably signifying a junction) which is much harder to see which direction it is pointing, especially when doing efforts. Can it please be set to just show an arrow and not like the image below?

 

Not quite sure what the benefit of having a line through the arrow is but it would be safer and easier to read if it was just an arrow indicating which way you are turning as below.

  I am happy with it as is. So please don't change.

  Completely agree with OP. The turn indictor in the first photo always has me looking at my computer for way longer than I like when I'm approaching a turn. IMO it's really dangerous for a turn indicator to be so unclear.

  Same here, the shape is too unclear for my middle-aged eyes as well. You can’t ride without looking at the actual road anyway, so that alone will already tell you it is a T intersection you are approaching, I don’t really see what the added value of a different symbol is here.

  As a general rule, I find the arrows unreliable enough that I wouldn’t even think about using navigation without a map constantly visible. The real culprit is the underlying OpenStreetMap data so there’s not much I can realistically expect Hammerhead to do about it. It is particularly pronounced with bike paths (intersection layouts or road/path transitions), but even from driving with OsmAnd navigation I remember semi-frequent disagreements with the machine about things like what counts as a road in a roundabout.

  If the horizontal line is absolutely necessary then please just make the arrow bolder/more pronounced so it is clear with a quick glance which direction you are turning.

  The arrow needs to be at the end of the T

  Also, the arrow in this thing is substantially smaller than the normal arrow. Removing the line in front of the point of the arrow would both make the shape of the icon clearer and allow making the whole thing the same size as the normal arrow (with a shorter horizontal part to leave space for the other direction if needed).
