Well, I could do this in German, and so can my German wife (perhaps unsurprisingly). I think that perfectly accurate directions would be a bit wordier in German than the English satnav equivalent (and the German ones I’ve used ask nicely too, which compounds this) but really I don’t get why the Navi would confuse ‘auf die linke Spur bleiben’ (keep to the left lane) and ‘Links abbiegen’ (turn left).
