With PR1.2, maneuver support was added so that when selecting a junction, its appropriate icon will be displayed. This functionality has been extended to allow all maneuvour icons to be displayed through a simple button, hence allowing the user to know what turns are approaching. The button is only displayed while traveling to a destination (needs a valid route to display manevours for), and hence will only be visible at times of routing. This button requires a new icon which can be added manually or automatically through the latest version of omVoiceServer.
