In the "Route details" list, the last line is a dummy: Actually the journey is already over in the penultimate line.

This line is needed just to complete the sequence of segment-wise addition of distance and time.

That's why the final line only has the total distance and total time in the left column.
It never has a distance+time in the third column.
So, why does it show a zig-zag arrow icon in the second column?

An icon should be shown only if there is a movement.
Not only that, the arrow should be appropriately chosen to match the direction of movement.
(s.g. turn sharply left, turn left, turn slightly left, go straight, take a U turn, turn slightly right,...etc.)

Thus the zigzag arrow is totally redundant and misleading.

Desired:
Get rid of this last directional icon.
Instead, a checkered flag can be shown to show arrival of destination.

Similarly, when we arrive at a waypoint, show the waypoint number.

This is illustrated by a simple two-segment route.

In the map, both segments are marked with red markers, and shown in the Route details list also.
The third line is necessary only to show the total distance and time in the left-most column; but it must not contain any directions. That's why it is best to show a checkered flag to represent destination.

Similarly, if there are waypoints in the journey, these can also be shown as shown below.
how to show waypoints
The simulated screenshot does not show further journey till the destination.

The advantage is that in the printed version, all waypoints and destination points appear clearly, and are shown distinctly, even if the route list is long.

Note that in the line that follows a waypoint, the distance+time repeat, because we have no way to predict how much time would be given to the break; or whether the car would be used for local excursions (in which case the trip meter of the car would log that much extra distance, and would not match with the route list).
