    That's unnecessary speculation I think... sorry .

    Because it is very important for a navigation user to find a destination even with a finger on the map... not just by searching for an address (number, street name, city name).

    It is especially important in the case of small towns/villages, of which there are many in the city where I live. If you move "with your finger over the map" and if you are in a big city, then I see the problem again in the name of the streets. It is convenient to see (street name) which street crosses which other street. But I usually only see 1-2 street names. In fact, there are several street names that connect to my street. This is also very annoying. It helps in navigation if you know where you are with your car right now.

    I simply need to see more on the map than just 1-3 street names in the case of a big city. Or... I also need to see in more detail or multiple town names on the map when I look at the map. I don't want 20 of them ! I want to see, for example, 5-10 of them on the map. However, 1-3 names of streets or towns, so that's really very little (for better orientation in the current geolocation, where I am with the car).

    Ah, you don't know how to use search

    That's what POI points are, coordinates, and even visual
    More streets mean nothing, just one is enough, few of them is more then enough

    And if you (or anyone) need to know many more streets in your (his) small town ... no comment

    You didn't get it again. You have to imagine it, man. Normally, imagine both situations that you want to travel somewhere. And that you are looking for the appropriate thing on the map... just for info... to know... where you will go with your off-road SUV :).

    In small villages, there are actually no intersecting streets, but only 1 very long street. There is no need for street names at all - on the navigation map. However... when I want to find a particular small village, of which there are always several next to each other (see my screenshots), I need to see which of them is the village I want to visit. I need to possibly see a view from the top to see which other villages I have to pass through - on the way to my destination.

    The second case is the one you mentioned. But it concerns the big city. And there's the problem with intersecting streets. I don't know if you've ever seen Beverly Hills, California, for example, but I'm guessing you have. It is several long streets with different names that cross each other. If you get into another street by mistake, then you have to turn around or go through the one-way street for a long time and return to the original place again. However, if you know exactly which streets cross your path with your car in order, then you will get a good overview of the destination and know exactly when to turn into the street (between which streets - according to their visible names).

    Sorry, I'm an apps developer :). I need to know exactly where to go and how to get there :). Such navigation as, for example, "go straight with the car... then after the second big green tree, turn right" is not enough for me.

    Obviously, our way of thinking is different.

    I have seen the mentioned city and many other American on television reports. I did not visit them.
    But don't have to go that far. I drove all over Munich, and passed all over Athens, e.g. WITHOUT the navigation. Thessaloniki, Istanbul, etc. So...

    Ha ha... OK... no problem... but... this Beverly Hills was just an example of street layout. You can find such an arrangement of streets anywhere in the world (including in Slovakia). I thought everyone knew that by now. It was only meant to be an example for better understanding.

    When moving between streets, sitting in the car, I would like to know the name of the street I'm crossing right now while moving/navigating. This is so that I have an overview of my position if I am not quite sure of my position or the reliability of GPS navigation. I simply want to see on the maps what is expected from the maps :-D. Names of streets and towns :-D. Not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 street/town names... but at least some 20 :-).

    When you drive, in an unknown city not to mention another country, in the middle of a big traffic jam, you don't have time to look at the navigation and read the streets. Even when you have a companion, there is no time for that. You have to follow the situation around you with great concentration, you can only listen.
