Description
It would be nice if the towns search (Actions -> Towns) had a list of bookmarks. I live in Amsterdam, and many of the streets I want to navigate to are in Amsterdam. However, before I can select Amsterdam from the list of towns I have to type at least "amster". Being able to select Amsterdam from a list would be very useful.
Before the user has typed any letters, the list of towns is empty. This provides a nice space to show the list of bookmarks.
If the name "bookmark" is confusing because it is already used somewhere else, "preferred town", "town bookmark", "townmark" or "remembered town" could be usable alternatives.

That would be sweet! And perhaps the same mechanism for streets as well.

You might have seen the new history functionality allready, that introduces a list of items that you visited before. Will this do the job for you?
But yes, we are aware that the lookup mechanism is still unconfortable. Some aspects are caused by the interal structures of Navit, but IMHO a preselection of the current city would be easy to realize.
Perhaps even a choice "the town you're in now" could be added, or a choice of nearby towns.
