Hmmm, I guess that red blip only works when you are driving that export vehicle itself.?
No, it works always, even if you are on foot.
About the suggestion itself, I dunno what to say: I usually support things that make it easier, but car exports are already easy and exploring the city is a part of its charm. So I haven't voted yet.
EDIT: I'm surprised that in a server where so many people want difficult things, there are 6 positive votes for this and 0 negative votes.
