Avoid next 500 metres / 1km / 2km /5km / Part of route

Suggestion for Ovi Maps Beta for mobile (v3.03)

Both ideas essentially taken from TomTom but in daily driving an absolute necessity.

Avoid next [distance]
----------------------------
In case of a road block or traffic jam it would be great if it were possible to avoid a set distance from the current GPS location extending to the requested distance along the planned route.

Avoid part of route
-----------------------
Similarly it would also be great if it were possible to avoid specific roads used along the route. So a UI that shows an overview of the route by roads/turns, allowing you to select a road and avoid it.

his suggestion lines up with one I made when Maps 3 was in beta a few months ago. Unluckily it was not included at the time.

The bigger problem at the moment with Maps 3 is that it is no longer possible to create a multi point route unless all but the first point can be stet from POIs.
