    It’s pretty common to show various things near your routes? It’s a feature built-in car map systems had since forever, at least. Always got the odd moment where you want to detour to a gas station or need to stop at a pharmacy.

      That’s just saying it’s common, though, not that it’s helpful. Do you actually ever use those recommendations?
