What do the lines/arrows on the Nav screen mean?
-
I'm trying to workout what these coloured arrows mean (at the top of the screen), I had loads of them again today all on roundabouts, some were simple straight over roundabouts and it showed arrows to the left, some were right turn/3rd exit and it showed the same, none of them made any sense.
What do they mean?

@Rob-Kelley The arrows in the rectangular box at the top of the screen indicate the lane designation. Your image shows that the suggested lane is the left one.

Thanks but I'm turning right and the nav shows that I need to turn right, why an arrow showing left?GSA1250

@Rob-Kelley
Maybe because it is a roundabout? -
@Rob-Kelley
The arrows are a preview of the instruction at the next junction after the roundabout. -
@KeesV
No. As already mentioned, it is a lane instruction, not a turn instruction.
The best lane for the upcoming turn. -

I'm riding down from the top A413 to take the 2nd exit bottom left as you look at the map.
This is the roundabout in this example, you can see the 2 lanes on the approach, the left lane has road paint to turn left and the right has paint to turn right so when turning right at a roundabout we get into the right hand lane not the left, MRA does this all the time with roundabouts.
So if it is a lane assist then it's very wrong and should be fixed or disabled.GSA1250

The arrows are a preview of the instruction at the next junction after the roundabout.Thanks but the next junction is another roundabout with a straight on, the left lane is for traffic turning left.

Martin is right, it is a lane assist for the upcoming roundabout.
See the manual:

It seems that in this case the lane assist is not very helpful. -
@Rob-Kelley
Absolutely agree!
I don’t know if this is a MRA or a HERE issue but it’s wrong and should be fixed! -
Again today, these lane assist arrows... what are they telling me??

In early 2024 there were multiple posting about wrong direction assignments in the UK. I also saw this when i was in Scotland.
This happened only in the UK not in rest of Europe.I thought it was solved. Clearly not or it is back.

@M-Schrijver I have had similar problems on my BMW sat nav. The thing they have in common is the Here maps. I've also had Here maps try to take me via Belgium to go 10 miles down a road in Spain and onto a Toll road because the Here map didn't know.
-
This is definitely another issue than you refer to @M-Schrijver
To be totally honest. In some regions I find the lane recommendation by HERE to be totally sh*t
We just serve the received information and that can be quite incorrect.The only way to fix it is by reporting it: https://mapfeedback.here.com/#/report

I haven't used lane assist very often so far.
For some tests, I gave it a go yesterday on a 50 km trip with a mix of highway, overland and cities around Hamburg / Germany. About 30 % of all lane assists were not exact or downright misleading.
I turned lane assist off again...
