A "Detour" button for avoiding traffic jams

[mdykierek]

Describe the idea

An extra button or action available on current UI that would allow making a detour e.g. exit on the nearest possible intersection that would come back "on track" in at least e.g. 1 km, 2.5 km, 5, 10, 25 km or a list of computed detours with their lengths.

Expected behaviour

As described above.

Alternatives you've considered

Adding an intermediate destination but automated could and should do better.

this is a nice alternative to the missing live traffic feature.
maybe a "calkulate alternative route for ... km"

That would be great. When a road is closed. Osm sometimes try"s to direct you to the same road. This should fix the problem.
