Show directions in a list

[julianfairfax]

This was also discussed in #1320. Once the route is calculated, Organic Maps should be able to show the directions in a list. This would allow you to get text directions for use without GPS, to have an easy way to print your route and to be able to see a route without having to actually navigate to the destination.

Is anything happening to implement this? To me, it would be the single most useful feature to add. If not, it would at least be good to always show the next turn, instead of just the distance.

What apps allow to print directions? Why is it the single most useful feature for your use case?
We'll add it when most of the routing issues will be fixed.

Now that I look at #1320, that's actually an even better fit for what I was thinking; sorry for not reading that one first! For me, it's less about printing, than being able to see a list of upcoming turns (which many other map apps do, e.g. Google).
I usually don't keep the phone up the whole trip to save battery, and I also keep the sound off. I glance, see what upcoming turns are, and put it back into standby.
Even seeing the name of the next turn would be nice (instead of just the distance, until almost upon it), but better yet would be the ability to pull up a list, see what the next couple turns will be, and put the phone back away.

#1320 describes this best

I think it's still a good idea to keep this open as a feature request.

agreed as #1320 is a discussion, not an issue

Another vote for this feature. I tend to use navigation with most of the time, just reading from list, e.g. which exit lane on the motorway i need to take and only when nearing destination, i need to use actual routing on screen or voice instructions.

If nothing else, you can save battery charge.
