"Turn/Exit Left" instruction given too early

I'm in the UK, so it's "Left" for me but for many of you the same problem would be with "Turn/Exit Right". Basically, I drive a few roundabouts around here where the "Exit Left" instruction is given so early that I've not actually cleared the previous exit yet! The moving-map shows what was intended, but it would have been confusing to someone relying on the spoken instructions. I was wondering: has anyone noticed if the distance between an "Exit/Turn Left" spoken instruction and the exit/turn that it refers-to is linked to the road class or road speed of the way? If so, maybe we want to examine ways to downgrade the speed that the router assumes you can drive a roundabout. I see quite a few problems around my way, mostly with motorway junction roundabouts. If it isn't the road class or road speed, could it be linked to the curvature of the road (unlikely, surely)? Steve

It's not linked to the "maxspeed" of the road as far as I can tell. Steve
