Set up hints on the route

As you move along your route, the app gives you voice hints. The hint priority is as follows:

1. Exit numbering.
   Example: "in 700 meters, take the second exit and turn right".

2. Directional indicators.
   Example: "in 500 meters, keep right toward the airport".

3. Landmarks and organizations.
   Example: "turn left, then drive under the overpass" or "after the gas station, turn right".

   Organizations are announced by their business type or name, if they are part of large, well-known chains.

4. Street names.
   Example: "turn left onto Bratislavskaya Street".
