Google Maps gives turn-by-turn directions to get from one point to another. This is very handy, but most people do not require turn-by-turn directions on all legs of their trip. I’ve often found myself thinking things such as “Just get on Route 1, take exit 5, then follow the directions”. Google should make this sort of thinking representable by allowing users to collapse parts of the directions that they do not require. It would save space and make the directions more intuitive.

But given my past experiences giving ideas to Google, I no longer do so directly.
