Comment on UX Idea: Real Turn-by-Turn Navigation

Comments

Nice idea, but you're missing out on a lot of points.

1) Turn right where? You need the street name.

2) Changing the icon to Go, you're relying on the user to remember what state the dialog was in. Bad idea. When you're driving and have a lot of things going on, you're not going to remember what the dialog directed them to do.

3) Adding distance remaining indicators has always been confusing because it's difficult to translate what distance the navigation app is giving you to real world distance. "Turn. Right. In. Five-Hundred. Meters". SUDDENLY RIGHT TURN, SLAM BRAKES, SCREEEEEECH.

You get the idea.

This is more for foot transport, and it's not a turn-by-street, but rather more literally a stand-in-place and turn-to-your-right type thing.
