Driving with a route

Version: 0.5.0

Overview

Once a destination is selected and a route is confirmed, the user gets guidance to the destination.

Guided driving

The Guidance view provides users detailed guidance instructions (both visually and verbally) together with visualized route paths on the map. The map view automatically adjusts to show the most optimal route and next maneuver view.

Guided driving

Main instruction

The main instruction in the guidance provides essential information about the upcoming maneuver. It includes an icon with a schematic representation of the maneuver, the distance to the maneuver, and additional information like the name of the street.

If the route goes through a roundabout, the next instruction icon will include a schematic representation of the exit road.

Chain instruction

If multiple maneuvers are close together on the route, the guidance will provide an additional instruction for the consecutive maneuver. This helps the driver prepare for the second maneuver immediately after completing the first one.

Chain instruction

Guidance on highway

When the route goes through a highway, the guidance provides additional information that the driver can see on the signposts. This information includes road numbers, the city names the driver will be heading towards, and highway exit numbers.

Lane guidance

If the road at the maneuver point has multiple lanes and the position of the car may impact the maneuver, the guidance provides a lane visualization. This visualization highlights the lanes the driver needs to take to complete the upcoming maneuver.

Guidance prioritization

Guidance information has the highest priority. If the available screen space does not allow for both guidance and upcoming event information, the guidance will be prioritized. For example, if there are two upcoming events and the driver is approaching a consecutive maneuver, the further upcoming event will be temporarily hidden to show the consecutive maneuver.
