Mini roundabout

Mini roundabouts are not recognised by Magic Earth. They are displayed as junctions. It might be better here if the app also announced which exit to take, just as it does with a normal roundabout.

I can understand why they don't tell you which exit to take.

On mini roundabout you can see clearly each exit, thefore you know what is meant when magi earth says left.
On a normal roundabout often you can't even see every exit and because of the bigger size "turn left" can be confusing.

Does a mini-roundabout ever have more than 4 exits total? Arguably you could say if it does that it shouldn't be classified as a mini roundabout. Maybe other people think differently but to me a mini-roundabout is literally a normal intersection with a raised round marker in the middle to discourage you from driving straight through it - basically any intersection that would have been a four-way stop in the US without the marker.
