Google Maps Suggestion

I have a suggestion for an improvement to Google Maps. I frequently use Google Maps as a quick and dirty way to get directions to a location. You type in an address, and 9 times out of 10, you get the correct location pointed out to you on a map. Take the following map of the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn, NY:


Most of the time, I don't need door to door directions. I can pretty much tell what highways I'm going to use to get into the area. I just want to know the quickest way to get from the highway to that location. What is the quickest way to get there from the highway in the above map (what exit/what turns)?

Problem #1 is that anytime there is a highway with a marginal, Google Maps doesn't make it easy enough to see where the exits are, and where you will be dumped off the highway. If they were easier to see, I could just plot the route myself.

Problem #2 is that you can't just click on the map, and ask for directions from the clicked point to the highlighted location. I really wish they would fix this problem. It would make using Google Maps to get directions so much faster.
