Calculate continuously the distance from user location to arbitrary map coordinates (i.e. POI) can only be done if use the straight beeline distance.

So no actual road distance can be offered and cannot see how this can be useful, when beeline vs road distances can be vastly different.

Plus there are no POI markers along the route anyway, only waypoints to be handled [elsewhere](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/app-display-the-distance-to-a-certain-waypoint-during-navigation/220).
