I often manually want to drop a pin and then get driving navigation to that spot. This deals well with a cache placed on a frontage road next to a freeway. Typically the navigation application wants to put me on the freeway and tell me I have arrived when I get next to the cache I can't reach from there. By dropping a pin a small distance away from the freeway, the navigation application typically avoids this problem.
Padding an option to dropped pin to Navigate there would help greatly. Otherwise I have to hack around by taking the coordinates of the pin and making them a waypoint for the cache in question and then later removing the waypoint. Doable but a lot of messing around for something that could be a lot simpler.
I would see this is the first step towards user-defined way points. These have a variety of uses when traveling to points of interest or hotels or any place you might want to navigate to and write notes to yourself about what is there.
