Description (last modified by akashihi)
soon is useless. The driver needs a real distance/time estimate announcement, which navit should have no problem providing since it already does for other announcements. 2 3 This also entails a sub-bug: if the user is told "soon" and that navit means "in 5 street corners", the user will have no idea if the street corner/traffic light he sees in 10 meters is the one to be considered "soon".

I personnaly agree about the fact that 'soon' is useless. But i'll have to check with cp15 if he's ok about this change.

It is intended to make it configureable.

well, in the meantime, having the (I think) "saner" default that this patch provides is better. The option to control it (though I have no idea why someone would want navit to give uncertain statements like "soon") could come later.

In my opinion, 'soon' is usefull. It warns you that in the near future you'll get detailed description of the next maneuvre.

I agree with OP - Replace "Soon" with a real distance estimate.

To back track on myself, "Soon" can be configured in navit.xml
<announcement level="2" distance_metric="200"/> Is an example of the line that can be edited.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from assigned to closed
To clarify Number6's point:
- <announcement level="2" distance_metric="200"/> specifies the distance (metres) before the manoeuvre when "soon" is used.
- <announcement level="1" distance_metric="100"/> specifies the distance (metres) before the manoeuvre when "in X metres" is used.
- <announcement level="0" distance_metric="50"/> specifies the distance (metres) before the manoeuvre when "now" is used.
As such, the functionality is available to enable/disable the "now" announcement in Navit. If you wanted Navit to give two announcements with "in X metres", then try applying the patch.
one liner patch that fixes the problem for good
