Direction change hidden by the climber drawer
Hello, it should be possible for the climber drawer to disappear when a turn is approaching, since the turn indicator is hidden by the drawer. In fact, it should work the same way as when you’re on a page other than the map page and the app automatically switches to the map page when a turn is approaching. I missed several turn due to the current behavior and its really annoying. I post a request to Hammerhead but as usual the answer was "is passed along to the team" If you also feel uncomfortable with how things are currently set up, give it a +1, and maybe Hammerhead will change this.

If the "jump to map" option is enabled, it makes sense to me, otherwise not really (for my use cases). I think it depends what you favor. I have the jump to map option disabled and essentially use the map to show my route and where I am on it. I know most of the turns. When the drawer (I think any is affected, not only Climber) shows, I want to keep it and not be "disturbed" by the map. I could imagine that some people favor to have the drawers above the map, and some favor the opposite. Thus, I'd think that with that option enabled, it could make sense to have the functionality you prefer.
Anyway, I use the map in a different way (even or rather particularly when routing), so this is just my two cents. However, I would not mind if the drawer disappeared for the turn (as long as it returns afterwards).
Now while writing this, I actually find it pretty annoying that the navigation drawer (all, actually), typically hide the position on the map. I see limited use in having the map combined with a drawer (half way up) anyway. So would be nice if this were also changed, and it might coincide with your suggestion -> move the current position marker into the (middle of the) actually viewable map area.
