Nav enhancement

I think an enhanced nav system could be useful. Given the range limitation of the Leaf it would be nice to be able to tell the nav that I intend to return home as my final destination then as I approach the "point of no return" it could warn me. This would allow me to travel to a distant town, do some running around there and return safely with less fear of getting stranded.

Can you set a (final) destination, then add a way-point (an intermediate destination) on the original route?

yes

OK, then make "Home" your final destination, adding some "other" point (way-point) that you intend to go through after leaving the house, even nearby.

After the "way-point", the Nav should always be estimating if you can get home.

OR, easier:
Once you are a block or two from Home, just select Home as your destination, adding way-points as needed to navigate your "trip".

I won't necessarily want to go to a particular location. Let's say I just want to go for a Sunday drive in the country.

It would be a nice touch if the nav system would know that I planned on returning home and warned me when to head back. It might also plot the most efficient way back for me.

Easy, just set "Home" as your Destination sometime after you leave on your "wandering".

That's not a bad option and I will use it until a better way is available. However wouldn't the nav system keep telling me turn on this or that street?

I just want the nav system to remain silent until my range is about equal to the distance to my home plus a few "buffer miles." Then and only then I would want the nav system to speak to me and let me know that I need to head back to my final destination.

For me this would make dinging around in my new Leaf more enjoyable since I wouldn't have to keep an eye on my range. Just drive until the car tells me to go home. Pure joy!
