Hmmm... so something weird going on on my side then...
  • find nearest turn
  • check if the distance from the nearest point increases for 5 seconds
  • if it does, switch to next turn
This'd be the way I'd think of it, the only question is about the number of seconds, i.e. 5 might too big of a time delay while moving in a car, but it's not too big of a deal. But if you'd have a succession of quick turns, you might be a turn behind constantly, so you might wanna pick a shorter interval.

OK, I can add an option for this, something like "start automatically on new route" to the options->navigation submenu.
Please do, I think this is really the default behavior for navigation, so if you can have an option to set it to this, then great.

This looks like a partial crash of the modRana, there might be something in stdout about it. BTW, you can enable modRana stdout logging from "options->debgu->log stdout to file". ModRana wil then create a log of its stdout output to the MyDocs/modrana_debug_log folder on each start.
OK, I'll try to experiment with this to see what's cookin', also might get some clues as to what's up with the rotation on my side...
