And then, for all the chatiness… when you finally _do_ need to exit… half the time it tells me to exit in 15 miles then says nothing for 23 more exits until it says “take the exit” as I’m passing the gore and have missed my exit.

I’d rather it “stay on this road for 20 miles” then start giving me “exit in 1mi”, “exit in 1/4 mile”, “you’ve passed the last exit, next exit is yours!”.

My pet peeve is when I'm in an unfamiliar area but know my exit is coming in a mile or two it will keep reminding me to not be in the rightmost lane, then 1/4 mile or less from my exit it will suddenly tell me GET RIGHT AND EXIT NOW! In moderately heavy traffic, that's not always easy to do. There was no reason I couldn't have been in that lane earlier.

Yes!!! Why won't it just tell me what my exit is? I don't care if it's 100 miles away, just tell me what it is now so I can be sure I don't miss it. Messages like "continue for 10 miles" covey absolutely no useful information because I'm not going to count out ten miles.
