Is there a way to look up a specific POI? It's easy to look up by category
what's near, but what about a certain restaurant or store by name?

Jeff,
I think you can get location info but I don't know if it works when you have
a route opened.
From Navigon, swipe right to More. Double-tap it.
Now, swipe left to Direct help and double-tap. You'll have a list of a
bunch of different categories, one of which is current location. Double-tap
it.
Now, you can tap anywhere on the screen to hear your location.
