When one drives on a straight road, OsmAnd does not announce the change of streets. Example: 5.83111 / - 55.18509.
When the direction crosses the Kernkampweg, the street name changes from Gravenberchstraat to Johannes Mungrastraat. Although it is shown in the display, OsmAnd does not announce it.

Fix osmandapp#6838 Announce the change of street names

One road may be result of several streets changing one into another. In that case OsmAnd didn't indicate that street name would change, because thare was no turn left/right in the route.

Commit adds the new feature. When two segments of stright part route have different street names, a new 'stright' direction with the new name will be inserted into the list of directions.

This is not applied to roads that have international/national refs, like 'E 101'

I have looked into this and am afraid this may be rather diisruptive, because depending on your area street names can change a lot. Often by having little segments at cross roads with different or no name, and it is more confusing than helpful if users heard all this chatter? Particularly since no action is expected but going straight?
