Setting bookmarks and seeing that the game automatically assigns a shortcut key to those view really allows you to jump to exactly the places you want to be.

This was in 2006. In fact, it was done better in 2006.

That's not good planning either way.

Another thing that worked in 2006 that was broken (apparently by popular demand) in 2007.

Wrong on so many levels. 2007 is a minor improvement on 2006, but this game has a LONG way to go and many areas in which it needs to improve.
And about those horses… Let's say you're living in 1901. A horse is less expensive to buy, less expensive to maintain, less expensive (maybe even free) to feed. It travels over rougher terrain, not getting stuck in potholes or ditches. It can cut crosslots and shave time off the trip. It might be slower under ideal conditions, but if you fall asleep while driving the horse will take you back to its barn, whilst the car will pile into a tree and likely kill you (no seat belts). The car is also much likelier to break down, AND when the horse does break down, you just put a bullet in its brain and eat for a month.
By 1920 cars really are the superior mode of travel, but OotPB2007 is the equivalent of that 1901 flitter, not the 1920 sedan.

I liked most of your post, but some very good pinch runners are pitchers, so I wouldn't like this part.
