- Sound on/off, this is also useful while navigating sometimes.
This might be a job for the (not yet properly implemented ) map screen widgets - the menu already has quite a few (5 + nav. box) elements and might become too crowded if I add more by default.

What about a stopgap - an on-screen button that instantly launches the app menu ?

And then, alongside the remaining km to next turn, and total remaining km, also the estimated time to next turn, and total remaining estimated time.
Well, the screen real estate in the navigation box is already limited

I'll have to add something like "show time/show/distance/ show time and distance" and a "show speed" toggle to options, so that the amount of displayed information can be customized

Well this is it, sometimes the directions are super long, and they seem to be fitted on only one line, and then when super small split...
Yep, its exactly like this - many words = small font. This is also how all text rendering works in modRana.

I'm going to implement something like this - use a big font (size proportional to screen size), if it doesn't fit on a single line, try to fold to more lines & cut lines that don't fit in the box. It would be also sensible to indicate the some text has been cut.
