Yes, announcing passing landmarks, saving a place and downloading off line maps needs to be accessible. Besides, some description of route preview, say turnings etc. also needs to be there.

Passing landmarks should be spoken, there should be a facility to turn them on / off as per user's requirement. 2. Downloading offline maps is not accessible at all, This used to be a boon during the good old nokia days when we used to put entire maps collection on our SD cards.
