See, I would not want this. There are many times I lock the display to save battery. I still want verbal commands when in that mode, which are only possible if the GPS is left on. Same with taking calls. Just because I answer a call with a hands-free set doesn't mean I'm not driving any more. I'd hate to miss an exit because I was taking a call and the GPS was off...

4) Saved POI searches / overlays would be similarly useful.
These two I like, but lean more toward 4. Making all POI's visible if their location is on screen (at a reasonable zoom level) would be nice. Maybe having the ability to set if a POI should always be visible as a setting would be nice, for those that don't want that?
