Should this be a map or 500 maps?

or "fewest turns".

i would rather drive an extra straight 0.25 miles down a major road than to zig-zag through tiny side streets while trying to carefully pay attention to unfamiliar street names and/or constant nav app directions.

i've had google maps instruct me to take four or five additional turns to save a couple hundred yards of driving.

Google maps is absolutely horrendous for this.

I've found OsmAnd to give me much better results. But google maps traffic awareness is pretty handy...

Or "fewer left turns". I can handle the right turns.
