a start from option
Most of us know anywhere from 10-90% of our route. It would be nice to be able to have a "start from this area" option.

This idea is kind of there already, when you "program" a trip for later by selecting a desired time of arrival. However, it would be amazing to expand on its availability when just "browsing" the app for calculating distances or ETAs, not necessarily for a precise point in time in the future, and the current version actually does have it working halfway: when selecting a destination to start a trip right away, there is in fact an option to click to invert start/destination (that part is working fine) and another option to edit either the start or destination, which works as far as letting you browse but won't actually make the selected edits. I would love this for older cars, to help calculate spent gas for splitting expenses on a previous trip or something like that when the car itself does not give you a precise idea, and the way it works under "program" only gives an ETA but no en-route distance

I'd like to be able to pin 2 ou 3 starting points, and have the first instruction be something like "go to freeway xyz southbound" instead of giving me a ton of instructions while I leave my own neighborhood.
