Dear Developers,

during car navigation OSMand shows the names of the exits (destinations) very good. It will be very helpful, if it could also show the official numbers of the exits - it really helps to orient, especially if destination inputs in OSM do not 100% correspond with the real destination signs on the motorway. E.g.
it would be good to have smth like: "23 - Pressbaum"



BR,

+1.

It will also help separate consecutive exits like 24a and 24b:

I agree with this request. - To have exit numbers announced would be useful.  Presumably the data exists on the map?

Yes, the data may exist on the map (if someone added it), like in the example link that Eric placed, where the motorway_junction(s) have a tag ref=24a or ref=24b.

Yes. Even freeway exits in the U.S. are tagged.

I've just downloaded OsMand version 3.6 and I'm delighted to say that the motorway exit numbers are now announced. 
This update means that OsMand is definitely the best Satnav app available.
Thanks to the developers for all their hard work.
