Show Ref of motorway-exit by navigation

[jan99]

I drive througt Madrid (Spain) by OSMAND but the ref information of motorway exits will not show! The data are in Osm Delfine!

It would be very helpful to find the correct exit!

Is the a Option?

Otherwise this is a WISH!

regards Jan

I would like to see this based on junction:ref=* as a disambiguation, as ref=* on a highway=motorway_junction node is not always clear, in the common North American urban case of forking ramps with unique exit numbers (urban areas of Washington State do this a lot) or exits in nonstandard locations (such as left exits in a right-hand drive country, or the less common situation of a ramp departing from a lane that isn't leftmost or rightmost while all other lanes go through; Oregon and Texas do this quite a bit).

Along those same lines, destination:street=* would be a handy announcement as well.  So situations like being told to get off at http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/15029475 are a little more clear.  A good number of exits in the surrounding area are posted as Downtown or Downtown Tulsa as the destination, so the announcement to "Turn slightly right towards Downtown" can be a bit ambiguous.  Something like, "In 300 meters, turn slightly right onto junction 4C towards 7th Street, Downtown" would be unambiguously clear.

Hi!

for other countries your descriiption may be correct - but in motorhighways the use of the ref-tag in nodes at the beginning of junctions are official an a very helpful instrument for the orientation and way description.

So i hope the developer reads this and usw this info for routing informations.

I would need to check taginfo again, however, I'm fairly certain there has been a significant shift to junction:ref on the way rather than the motorway junction.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/compare/highway=motorway_junction/junction:ref  junction:ref is gaining traction as it is a more precise method.

Can anyone tell me if any progress is being made with this issue? I have OsmAnd version 3.5.3 and the problem with motorway exits is still there.

When I open OsmAnd and browse the map I can see the junction numbers but as soon as a route is calculated the junction numbers disappear. If I go into route details junction numbers are there, but they are not included either in the voice instructions or on the screen. The voice instruction is very misleading e.g. the instruction for exiting M6 is "keep left on M6" 

It is not practical to go through the menus to find route details while driving.

The information is on the maps so you would think it shouldn't be too difficult to have it included in the instructions.

The developers have done a fantastic job with this navigation app but yet they don't seem to be able to solve this simple problem.

Have you reported the issue to the developers via the OsmAnd Github
issues tracker?

https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand/issues

Reporting the issue here on this list is unlikely to cause the issue to
be noticed, as this list is users helping users. Occasionally a
developer drops by, but generally they do not monitor this list. And
as we are not developers, we can't make any fixes due to your report.

Reporting the issue via the github tracker above is the proper way to
put the issue in front of the developers, and the best way to likely
see a fix occur in a future release.

Thanks Xavier,

I'll try that. I've already contacted Osmand support and they are aware of this long standing problem. I'm just frustrated that they haven't done anything about it yet.
