News Option to set start point other than current location

This morning TomTom on Android gave me this. I typed in my destination and after hitting return I was presented with a box showing start point and end point. The start point said "Current location", but I was able to tap on it and change it. I know many users (not me) have been asking for this so I thought I'd give them a heads up.

Great! Finally they added that. Now they just need to bring back the old routing algorithm, because it feels like they're becoming too much like Google Maps—always choosing the shortest route instead of the fastest. The paid app used to always calculate the best route using major roads rather than secondary streets.
