Description
Something I find slightly annoying is the way the text string works in the POI list of a default Navit setup. POIs are shown in the following manner:
[distance to poi] [direction to poi] [poi type] [poi name]
Personally, I think the POI name is far more important than both direction and type, especially as Navit provides some simple type filters anyway.
The attached patch re-arranges the order of the text string, so that it shows:
[distance to poi] [poi name] ([direction to poi] [poi type])
The distance is shown first, then the name, and then (in brackets) the direction and poi type. This can be seen in the first screenshot.
The patch also re-arranges the text string shown in the 'url' bar (or whatever it's called), so that when a POI is clicked, it's name appears first, followed by the type (in brackets). This is shown in the second screenshot.
As I say, this is more of a personal preference, but I thought I'd share in case anyone else is like me! :)

Was this patch added already?
IMHO finetuning the POI dialogs is a more complex process, where we need to ask ourself, what the user might expect from our dialogs and take multiple usecases into account: http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/User:Usul/UING The focus on usability will be the next major release.
