There are still few things missing on server side - search and routing between all maps, for example - but we'll get there. The voice navigation (for me its actually rerouting that's most interesting) would surely come. As far as I remember, these features are in Poor Maps and modRana issues (aka TODO) lists.

That's a good suggestion. In general, I probably would need to add a wizard of some sorts that would help to setup the server. I was reluctant to enable libpostal by default (same with Mapnik) as it requires about 700 MB extra storage. Now the new version of libpostal may reduce that requirement, but I would have to move to the new version and test it properly first.

I'll add your suggestion into the issues of the server and will take a look into it a touch later. Its a great idea and should be implemented when I polish the interface. Right now, I am trying to get all the required features covered first, if I can do it in reasonable amount of time.
