    Is there any point to the little red dots for route traces? Does acquiring more dots/breadcrumbs along certain routes train the system about preferred routes/road types or anything like that?

    You use them for power-ups. When you eat one of the big ones the ghosts turn blue and run the other way...oh wait, that's PacMan. Never mind.

    :D Now it all makes sense! Thanks!!! Now where's the button that shoots out the hose that sticks into vehicles in front of me and inflates them until they explode and get out of my way???

    Honestly, I've never found a use for them. When my Prius was new, I turned them on and then didn't know how to get rid of them.

    The Prius saves the last batch. Turn them on, then turn them off. You are saving a batch of zero.
