Hi,

Coherent means logical, consistent and orderly. It is correct to say that
the uNav UI is definitely beautiful and orderly. However it is *not*
logical :) (proven by my analysis of the nearby and share menu items).
However I agree that we shouldn't rush this. Let's look at some mockups and
then decide which one to go with.

I also agree to releasing 0.59 ASAP and then focusing on usability
improvements in 0.60.

@Marcos, I would still really like to hear your feedback on the NearBy and
Share button in the route page. Do you see any use for it? Rest assured,
even if you say it can be removed, we will do it only in 0.60 ;). Clearly
me and Joerg are of the opinion that it is useless when you can access them
straight from the POI popup.

Cheers,
Nekhelesh
