Is it possible to add to the Go to menu an option to go to a street address, city/town or zip code?

If I want to get a map of a place I am visiting, I need to create a route to it and then navigate through the maps and zoom in to the endpoint of the route. I keep thinking there should be an easier way to get to the map of a location. Using any of the yahoo maps, google maps etc., I just type in the zip code and press enter and am right where I want to see.
Not in the current version, but it will be there in the next version. You will need internet access in order to do this.

Now if I press Toggle auto center by accident it goes back to my GPS. then it takes me ages to get back to the map I was looking at
Good idea. So, any of the Go features (including "Go to GPS location", whether its directly or via the Auto-Center function) will be "Go-Back"-able. I'll make it stackable, so you can go back multiple times. What about a "Go Forward" button? The Go stack won't persist between restarts, though.

Will do, although one of the "Show XXX" actions might hold you over until then, since all they do is pop up something for a few seconds.

Thanks for the suggestions.
