Arrow Icons

I use Trip Planner to route a trip with multiple waypoints. Unfortunately, I have had cases where it comes to a waypoint and fails to give the next direction until, I pass through the point.
Once I pass through the waypoint, it works fine. Unfortunately, until that happens, I'm left with the dilemma of deciding if I make a left or right turn, or to go straight.
I use EPE to create all my waypoints for a trip. To simplify this, I would like to link to one of three Arrow Icons. Either a Left, Right or Straight Through Arrow Icon.
We have almost every conceivable icon on the site, but I cannot find simple Arrow Icons. Does anyone have any that they could download to the site? I would think others might find this useful.
How
How about image.Google.com?
Enter arrow in the search field, download one you like, resize if needed and save in the format you need.
Nuvi 350, 760, 1695LM, 3790LMT, 2460LMT, 3597LMTHD, DriveLuxe 50LMTHD, DriveSmart 61, Garmin Drive 52, Garmin Backup Camera 40 and TomTom XXL540s.

try Basecamp
Try setting your trip in Basecamp. Rather than put your marker on the intersection, put it on the road you need to be on just past the intersection. That way, you will receive an insruction to turn in the direction you need just before reaching the point.

When I make my trips I set my waypoint a little after each turn I need to make to get me on the correct road. I found out the hard way that making them just before the turn does not work.

Great Idea.

That sounds like the smartest thing to do. I will start doing that.
It appears that you have experienced the same problem with Trip Planner.
The only explanation for why it works fine in one case, and not in another, is "IT'S A GARMIN!!!!"
