Another planned feature. In fact, this is the first time I've ever heard
of any existing GPS/routing system that did this. Another one is "avoid
area", such as "don't go within 100 miles of NYC".

I'm not replying there, but I saw the Waze traffic mentions. Agreed
about the data access being the problem there. It really seems like a
lot of normal traffic information could just be downloaded and used
offline. Basically it's a weighting function across spacetime rather
than just space (as is usually the case). I want to experiment with this
by having my routes timestamped and saved, then used as inputs to future
routings in the same area.
