Great news! I just came back from my holidays where we used Skobbler (I
guess you know it ;-) ) for navigation and it was hell. Skobbler
desperately needs that kind of information.

Just a brief summary for everyone who's never used the key destination and
its sub-keys:
* The key destination=* describes the direction of the highway by using the
name of the city the highway is heading to. [1]
* There are some proposed sub-keys to provide further information, e.g.
destination:ref to provide the reference of the highway this highway is
heading to. [2]
* The JOSM style "Land and road attributes" [3] has rudimentary support for
destination, destination:ref, destination:int_ref and destination:country,
so you are able to see that kind of information while editing in JOSM.

Best regards,
Martin
