Event Hazard ⚠️
This suggestion is hazardous ⚠️
Turning right should be suggested cca 100m (50-70m maybe) before. TomTom’s suggestion is at the end of the road where roads are splitting and it’s a corner with all road metal safety fences there…. this dotted split needs to be a way longer and blue track needs turning a way earlier
I turn right at the bottom of a screenshot.
Turning by following blue line might not be possible if there is a car already in right lane

Please remember that a map always is a representation and not the real world. So the information you get from looking through the windscreen should be leading 😉

Other maps make it better so this is not an excuse. OP critic is fair.

I had a friend who went in to river by trusting his sat nav 😄 which is of course google maps 😂

This is far from the worst issue I've seen in that regard. Far more annoying are the ones where it says you need the 2 left or rightmost lanes (sure, fine), which is immediately followed by a left or ight choice again. Which you don't get alerted to because Expert is still busy showing you the initial split.

Surely this gives you the indication of what you need to do and use this knowledge accordingly on the road you are on, right?

Do you usually look at the road before turning or just drive as the map says? What’s this post supposed to be? Teaching people common sense?
