So it should be what the road signs say, if the road signs say take this
exit for XXX Suburb then destination=XXX so the router can announce what
the road sign they are looking at says. If the road signs say exit for YYY
Street, then destination=YYY. Destination could be other things too, eg.
Airport Arrivals/Departures.

I think the important thing is to map what's on the ground, ie. what the
signs say.
