We could download routes from anywhere from/to one of our saved locations. The saved locations folder can be chosen just like we choose folder for maps, routes, etc.
There is autocompletion in the text fields in the "Download Route" dialog. That should help at least a little. (Note that you have to use the D-Pad to actually choose the options from the pop-up list - a little hildon bug.)

There's also the original GPX Driving Directions Web Service, which uses cookies to save previously used locations. Maybe you'd find it more convenient to use that and open the resulting GPX files in Maemo Mapper?

I'll probably add a more complete "Destinations" framework someday, but it's not very high on my priorities list at the moment.
