    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Johan, I agree with your statement that
      "destination" is much more universal than "exit_to". I would
      prefer to see "destination" brought into wider use and "exit_to"
      deprecated. I only use "destination", which I use very frequently
      to help make routing instructions (not: routing calculations -
      these have nothing to do with destination tags) more closely
      reflect landmarks on the ground (i.e. large signs at junctions).<br>
