I've wondered about this. Another feature I'd like is to be able to

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 re

Great idea. Toll is dependent upon vehicle configuration (and
