Navigation application: Features we expect from it

I'd like to open a thread where we can discuss about the future application that Jolla will develop with Appello in order to provide a Navigation experience to the Jolla device.

I'll start with some features I expect from this app:
- automatically or manually switch between night/day colors
- ability to chose from online/offline navigation
- ability to see the map in 2D/3D/satellite view
- automatically use compass in order to determine the direction in which the phone is going
- map layers
- speed limit alert
- fixed speedcams alert
- route settings: fastest/shortest/economical
- route settings: permit/deny motorways, toll roads, ferries, tunnels, unpaved roads etc
- settings of units: metric/imperial UK/imperial US etc
- ability to see GPS coordinates of current location and any point on the map
- demo route: set starting/ending/intermediate points of a route and see a demo of the route before actual routing
- live traffic
- walking/driving/bicycle/public transport modes
- ability to share a route via e-mail

Please feel free to add comments/answers to this feature list.
