Hi, I currently use ORS for my project. I would like to ask, if it’s possible to show icons (seeing the picture below) for maneuver instructions with directions API? I haven’t found any convenient way to show those icons yet. Maybe I have to analyze the instructions text to select the appropriate icon. Anyway, it could be really helpful if I missed this function and get some suggestions. ![image](https://ask.openrouteservice.org/uploads/default/original/1X/c60fee349831835a67cc67bdbbaff127a9234ff9.png) Thank your team for this wonderful project. Have a good day. ---

Hi @rssws Inside the response where you get instructions there are some things that can help, but don’t cover everything. There is the part of the response called “type” (`properties -> segments -> steps -> type`) which provides a number representing the type of turn: 0 - Turn left 1 - Turn right 2 - Turn sharp left 3 - Turn sharp right 4 - Turn slight left 5 - Turn slight right 6 - Continue 7 - Enter roundabout 8 - Exit roundabout 9 - U-turn 10 - Finish 11 - Depart 12 - Keep left 13 - Keep right 14 - Unknown For the other items (i.e. ramps, merge and ferry) there isn’t really any way of getting the information directly, so for those it would need to be a case of looking into the instruction text. I don’t believe that things such as “use ramp” or “merge” ever get returned in instructions though. ---
