I was also thinking about per-mode specific settings, like: Scale the map to 4x original size, but in only in the car and bus modes, in bike mode only by 2X and use the default for all other modes.
Yes, I noticed the difference in modes while using 'bike' when driving (I just like the km/h display). It just couldn't find route to destination until I switched over to 'car'

Scaling: how about speed-related zoom-level? Set hardcoded/configurable triggers points so that when speed is increased/decreased past set point scaling is incremented/decremented by, say, x1. Example: When accelerating from 10km/h to 40km/h map zooms out. That way scaling is right for situation (and mode ) and shows enough of the map in relation to speed. Maybe behind a toggle switch and if zoom button is pressed it stops speed-zooming. You'd have to re-enable it by pressing button.
