Indicate current road name during free-driving

[1ec5]

The navigation SDK should indicate the name of the road the user is currently on even during “free-driving” outside of turn-by-turn navigation, so that the developer can stick this information in WayNameLabel/WayNameView.

MapboxNavigationNative provides this information via the MBNavigationStatus.roadName property. One possibility is to expose this information as part of the location manager being added in #2410.

In my brief look at the current road name provided in the status updates it looked like it isn't set by NN for simulation. Is this expected?

#2410 adds a roadNameKey key to the user info dictionary of passive location update notifications.

Unfortunately, the navigator only populates this field during free-driving, not during turn-by-turn navigation, even if route simulation is enabled. Once a future version of MapboxNavigationNative exposes the current road name during turn-by-turn navigation, we’ll find a way to expose it as part of a route controller location update and potentially route progress as well.
