Hi
Hope knowbody minds me starting this 2nd section for sofware enhancments, i dont know about you but i hate havig to go through pages of responces just to find the odd good idea.
Anyway what id like to see(dont know if its possible!)is the option to add Information to the POI's, like small descriptions for attractions your near, opening & closing times for shops or takeaways your close too, prices for carparks!, ect..... (im sure you can think of much better examples but ya get the idea).
Also it would help a lot if there was a way of scrolling the map around a bit without havig to zoom in or out to see whats arond you, though i cant see this happing because of the lack of buttons.
And an information page you can look at mid journey too see where your upto, total miles covered(and left to go), average mph your doing!, ect...

As a bare minimum, the i3 could do with displaying the planned route on a map (rather like TTN does) - just to check that it hasn't come up with anything daft.
I'd propose that this route summary display would timeout after a couple of seconds - if the jogwheel was turned during this period, it would zoom in/out on the start location, and if clicked then turning the jogwheel would scroll along the route at the current zoom level - maybe another click to return to zoom mode, and back button to resume navigation.
Scrolling around the map could be acheived in a similar way - with subsequent clicks of the jogwheel switching the scroll function between pan East/West, pan North/South, and zoom in/out.
It might seem a bit clunky, but it's certainly better than nothing.
Whether or not Garmin would implement this is down to whether they'd risk undermining the advantages of their more expensive products, rather than technical feasibility.
