Two Suggestions for the Destination Feature

1. Factor in the subway system if you have Your Papers.
2. Allow the option to trace a route you want to take.

  • Or, if not trace, at least add in key destinations.  There are times when I am going somewhere, but I need to hit up the nearest <type> Vendor.

    Incidentally, being able to just GPS myself to the nearest <type> Vendor would be useful as well, in certain occasions.

  • I wondered why the subways were excluded. +1

  • It's pretty easy to write an (Dijkstra's) Algorithm that simply considers the vertices and possibly the path length.  I'm sure they will eventually include the subway into it too but it does take more work.

  • I like the idea, but the subways should be optional (with a checkbox or something). Sometimes I like walking all the way :)

    Factoring in alt. routes could be done similar to Google Maps: Set your destination, then add optional waypoints along the way which the GPS path factors in.

  • I also want to know how many "streets away" it is.
