First, apologies if my suggestions overlap existing entries, I have read the forum ad did not find exactly these points.
First, I would realy like a more accurate % of charge display. The bars are too course-grained and I find a whole bar drop near the lower end of charge somewhat disturbing.
I live in a very hilly (actually mountainous) area, thus prompting the next suggestions.
GPS maps show the world as flat, something I think was disproved some time ago. The range of the LEAF is very dependent on hills. I have observed that climbing 0.5 miles up (and 10 miles forward) is about equivalent to 50 flat miles. 3D GPS maps would permit better estimates of range, taking in to account the vertical component.
Cruise control could be hooked into regeneration. When I am going down that steep hill, and I ask the cruise control to hold me at 45, it could push hard on regeneration to keep me at 45. At the moment there is no connection between cruise control and regeneration, so even with cruise control my speed creeps up beyond what I have set it at.
