Turn by Turn navigation improvement

[Jonathan Schwarz]

This topic has been touched on in a few discussion topic, but I don’t see it posted as a feature suggestion. Therefore, I thought I would open up a topic under feature suggestions. Mods please let me know if this is okay.

I would like to see a few improvements with the turn by turn navigation;

1. Text is too small to read easily when moving quickly, wrist is bouncing while running
2. Part of the instructions frequently get cut off (especially the street/trail name)
3. It would also greatly improve the usability if a quick view of the map with the upcoming turn showed along with the notification (ie especially if you are on a data screen, for the notification to pop up with a small glimpse of the upcoming turn on the map). That way you have two ways to process the instruction - text and visual)
4. timing of notifications has been reported as an issue by several other users. I myself haven’t tested this as much so cannot comment myself.
   This point has been discussed more in this topic here:

100% agree after testing out the Suunto Race.

2. It would be nice to see the full text for POI notifications, like the notifications you get from Race Companion (the SuuntoPlus app).

3. That would be ideal, then you wouldn’t have to manually switch back and fourth between data screens and the map to check which is the correct fork on a trail.

4. I would love for this to be fixed. I’ve disabled turn-by-turn altogether because of the confusing timings (being notified either way too soon in advance, or about future turns before reaching the current one).

Or another suggestion that might be a bit easier to implement as an additional option:
Whenever you’re set to the map screen, a simple beep just before a turn would work nicely as a reminder to check which way to head next. That’d be ace too
