Map icon: Incorrect direction for turning circle in LHT countries

[StenSoft]

Turning circles in left-hand traffic countries (tested in New Zealand) show incorrect direction (counterclockwise) on the icon.

What's your setting under Settings / General settings / Driving region?

[StenSoft]

Automatic. It remains the same even if I change it to Australia or if I change system locale to English (New Zealand).

[sonora]

Yes, Automatic should work ok. I just see, you are only talking about the icons on the map, not the navigation instructions, navigation turn arrows, etc, those are ok?

[StenSoft]

Yes, I mean the icon on the map. I don't think OsmAnd actually takes into account turning circles during navigation, at least I don't remember it asking me to turn on one, but for everything else, it navigates correctly

[vshcherb]

Could you please specify which icon on the map? I've thought it applies only to widget on the left and it takes into account setting which is mentioned.

[StenSoft]

It's the icon for turning circles and for mini roundabouts. All of these should be clockwise:

This is also happening on UK maps.

I think the bigger issue is for mini-roundabouts which use the same symbol. If it isn't possible to make them 'handed' based on driving direction a solution may be to adopt openstreetmap carto's approach and use a ambidextrous "⨀" symbol for these, although I do like that the current symbol is closer to the mini-roundabout sign.

The changes to obf_creation/rendering_types.xml in this issue's commit appear to have disabled turning circle rendering in the USA (at least Washington State), presumably elsewhere too. (I remember seeing them in the past for a while.) I suggest trying reverting the turning_loop and turning_circle line changes and moving the lhn detection line to after them. In other words, something like:

+       <entity_convert pattern="tag_transform" from_tag="highway" from_value="turning_loop" to_tag1="highway" to_value1="mini_roundabout" routing="no"/>
+       <entity_convert pattern="tag_transform" from_tag="highway" from_value="turning_circle" to_tag1="highway" to_value1="mini_roundabout" routing="no"/>
        <entity_convert pattern="tag_transform" from_tag="highway" from_value="mini_roundabout" if_region_name="$cyprus,$malta,$gb,$ireland,$bangladesh,$bhutan,$india,$maldives,$nepal,$pakistan,$sri-lanka,$brunei,$east-timor,$hong-kong,$indonesia,$japan,$macao,$malaysia,$singapore,$thailand,$botswana,$kenya,$lesotho,$mauritius,$mozambique,$namibia,$seychelles,$south-africa,$swaziland,$tanzania,$uganda,$zambia,$zimbabwe,$guyana,$suriname,$antigua-and-barbuda,$bahamas,$barbados,$jamaica,$australia-oceania" to_tag1="highway" to_value1="mini_roundabout" to_tag2="lhn" to_value2="yes" notosm="true"/>
-       <entity_convert pattern="tag_transform" from_tag="highway" from_value="turning_loop" if_region_name="$cyprus,$malta,$gb,$ireland,$bangladesh,$bhutan,$india,$maldives,$nepal,$pakistan,$sri-lanka,$brunei,$east-timor,$hong-kong,$indonesia,$japan,$macao,$malaysia,$singapore,$thailand,$botswana,$kenya,$lesotho,$mauritius,$mozambique,$namibia,$seychelles,$south-africa,$swaziland,$tanzania,$uganda,$zambia,$zimbabwe,$guyana,$suriname,$antigua-and-barbuda,$bahamas,$barbados,$jamaica,$australia-oceania" to_tag1="highway" to_value1="mini_roundabout" to_tag2="lhn" to_value2="yes" notosm="true"/>
-       <entity_convert pattern="tag_transform" from_tag="highway" from_value="turning_circle" if_region_name="$cyprus,$malta,$gb,$ireland,$bangladesh,$bhutan,$india,$maldives,$nepal,$pakistan,$sri-lanka,$brunei,$east-timor,$hong-kong,$indonesia,$japan,$macao,$malaysia,$singapore,$thailand,$botswana,$kenya,$lesotho,$mauritius,$mozambique,$namibia,$seychelles,$south-africa,$swaziland,$tanzania,$uganda,$zambia,$zimbabwe,$guyana,$suriname,$antigua-and-barbuda,$bahamas,$barbados,$jamaica,$australia-oceania" to_tag1="highway" to_value1="mini_roundabout" to_tag2="lhn" to_value2="yes" notosm="true"/>

Assuming that every tag transform is checked in linear fashion, the effect should be that the mini_roundabout checking for lhn vs not lhn countries works after the turning_loop and turning_circle values are transformed to the mini_roundabout value. (But I'll confess that I haven't tested it.)

Yes the order for changes is linear
