What is the default at the present time, As I'm waiting for the App, I
am having to do guess work to know what it is like now.  Is it on 40 at
the moment?  Or you can make POIS as consistent as the intersections and
if people don't like it, turn POIS off altogether.  As Mary said,
Intersections are the most important as for me a good GPS is for the
user to know what street is coming up, what street you went past and
what is on the left and right.

For me, a route is not so important but what is in front of me, behind
me and what is going to come.

I when switching for instance the Trekker on when I had it, or for GEO
when I had that was for me, not to put in routes but for me to know
where I was at all times so that if I had difficulty could explain to
someone which street I was on and what the next intersection was and
what was to the left and right.
