OsmAnd~ navigation messages show wrong icon for roundabouts and only update when screen is on

[Schkullie]

Bagle.js 2v25
Gatebridge v0.83.1-bangeljs (F-Droid)
OsmAnd~ v4.9.10 (F-Droid)
Both tried with the GB OsmAnd pakage setting (in external integrations) on "automatic" and "net.osmand.plus"

I have three issues with the navigation messages.

1. Whenever a roundabout comes up the icon on the watch shows to take the first exit. The message on the phone does show the right icon though

(Neem 3e afslag = take third exit)

2. The navigation messages don't get updated unless the screen is on. This kinda defeats the purpose, if I still have to have my phonescreen on

3. The instructions often are too long for the screen and get cut left and right (see image above).

I'm not sure where exactly to pin the problems to. Most of the threads I've read about that topic here either say it works for them (at least on Google maps) or that it's not an error from bangle js but the official GB.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Just tested it with Google Maps (v25.07.02.724926918) as well and it seems to not have these issues, so I assume this issue lies with OsmAnd or GB.

I'll investigate further

Further seems OsmAnd also to update the messages again when the screen is off.
The only thing that really changed was the charge from ~9% to ~40% and reconnecting the watch a few times as I was out of reach fromlmy phone

Ok, great, so #2 seems sorted? It might depend on whether the OSMAnd app was focussed I guess.

The navigation messages from OSMAnd are handled by this code in Gadgetbridge I think:

https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/service/devices/banglejs/BangleJSDeviceSupport.java#L2144

And the Navigation message is https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/model/NavigationInfoSpec.java - it looks like the mapping of enums is correct so I think the code in Gadgetbridge getting the data from OSMAnd must be wrong.

It's here:

https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/nodomain/freeyourgadget/gadgetbridge/externalevents/OsmandEventReceiver.java#L82

and also: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/net/osmand/aidlapi/navigation/ADirectionInfo.java#L41

So as far as I know it just pulls the integer value direct from OSMAnd's API without doing any kind of remapping from OSMAnd to Gadgetbridge. You'd need to figure out how OSMAnd's turnType field works in the API and re-map it (or just map ACTION_ROUNDABOUT_LEFT to ACTION_ROUNDABOUT_RIGHT and vice-versa).

It's possible that OSMAnd's API doesn't actually say roundabout left but roundabout first exit which might then cause some issues as it depends what side of the road you're driving on - you'd have to figure that out and then swap sides only in that case...

... also for #3 with the instruction length - I guess you'd want to add something to OsmandEventReceiver to ensure it set the instructions to a sensible length
