At first I thought, "Hmm, nifty idea. Could be useful."
But then I stopped to examine the use of it. It seems that this idea is inherently kind of pointless because the places you frequent you already know how to get to. On the other hand places you don't frequent, the case in which this would be fantastic, won't be in there.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you considered using prediction (perhaps by scraping the user's calendar) to show places they have not driven to many times?
I commonly commute between a small set of places at different times on public transportation. Depending on what time I'm travelling, the best route through public transportation can be completely different. I know how to get to all of these places by walking/driving, but I don't always know the best way to get there given the time, which is why this app is so useful.
I regularly need to get "directions" to places I commonly visit, because I use the map app to give me bus times. I suspect folks who drive, might do this allot with traffic information.

Great job with the design by the way.
