I don't know how I got to it anymore, but I seem to remember something about high priority, medium priority, and low priority. I'm pretty sure this was in the maps app, but I seriously don't remember how I did it, or where it was. I tried to rediscover it just now, but didn't have any luck. Anyway, I can't be sure, but this may do what you want.
