POI (also known as "accident black spots" based on variable distance from waypoint (ideally with some sense of speed / direction).
To, er, allow for people to develop lists of Macdonalds or the like and know which side of the road they can park and how much to slow down for in order to stop in time.

Also to be able to say "I am here and want to go here" easily. The s/w relies too much on GPS, unlike some versions of TomTom where you can easily enter A to B.
Also a display of how many mile/kilometres before destination and your current speed |

It does "miles to go to next manouvre". But yeah, I could use a big speed display too. Going into Sat Status mode works but you cant mess about like that when a police car is sitting in a layby. |

Great features to have:
1) Display selected POI's in map view, especially the 3D Display. So that I can see where the gas stations (for example) are relative to my current position, and then click on them to calculate a route to it.
2) Save current position as a POI or a favorite. Right now you somehow have to give an address, but not all private addresses, (like my office building,) are valid in the database.
3) Display road names in 3D view, with scalable setting to declutter or increase detail. _________________ Colin |

Another great feature to have:
Sometimes the system thinks you're on a nearby road instead of the one you're really on. There should be a "sycronization" or "calibration" method to execute on the fly so that you can resolve such ambiguities. This way, the system won't think I'm on a parallel road elsewhere when trying to calculate a route for me. _________________ Colin |
