Issue description

I find myself in different situations where I want to get access to specific info. I may want to find out my current location, the next upcoming intersection, my speed, my heading (based on direction of travel or compass heading depending on phone compass,) lat/long data, etc. This would be valuable in a variety of situations while walking, driving, or hiking. Perhaps the settings page could have a way for me to select the info that is provided by pressing an info button on the main screen, to avoid cluttering the main UI.

Use case

  • As I'm hiking, and I am not near a road, I need to have a better way of tracking my position. Geocaching benefits as well. For this reason, having a way to announce lat/long coordinates, with possibly a way to set preferences for the type of announcement and the accuracy, could be very helpful. Compass heading is also crucial for this use case.
  • While walking or driving, I often want to quickly know specific information such as next upcoming intersection, heading, city and neighborhood, etc.
  • While on a bus, being able to know upcoming intersection if I don't have a mark set at a drop-off bus stop would be very helpful. Intersection announcements aren't provided with enough time to act, and often times aren't provided at all while driving, so the ability to determine next intersection in the UI is critical.
