That's it, essentially. What differentiates these two ways to indicate a turn?
So far, I had only heard 左に曲がる/右に曲がる, but recently I heard 左折/右折 in the GPS of
a car. At first I thought that the latter was just a noun version, more than
an action, but I've seen examples where the latter seems to also be used as a
する verb (i.e. 自動車は左折した). Is it more car-related? A Google image search for the
latter only shows car-driving related pictures.

Thanks in advance !!

左に曲がる/右に曲がる v/s 左折/右折
右折する、左折する refer only to cars, bicycles, busses, and other vehicles on road (I
think airplanes can 右折 while on road, not flying) 右に曲がる 左に曲がる is used in
various ways.

> この線は右に曲がっている。  
>  コンビニまで歩いたら右に曲がってください。  
>  鳥は右に曲がった。
