Not yet - see Feature Request Track Item #22

3) Also it would be good if all the other POI locations downloaded (gas stations, hotels, etc. mentioned in the first chapter...) could be used as fixed locations.
When POI's come, you will be able to select them in the "Download Route" dialog as either a source or destination. Arbitrary numbers of "fixed locations" starts to turn into a POI set, so I don't think I'll provide any additional functionality specifically for "fixed locations" - just use a POI set (you will be able to load as many as you want).

The length of the velocity vector is based on (surprise!) speed, so you can sort of use it to judge "distance travelled in next 30 seconds", but the ratio is fixed relative to the screen size, so you'd have to scale it based on your zoom level. I decided not to make it fixed relative to actual geographical distance because that would make it either invisible in the "very zoomed out" case or entirely too long in the "very zoomed in" case.
