Even when the subject is not present we have placed the gender. The reason for this is that even though for something like: "Si quieres, podemos usar la ruta cerca de mi casa" you don’t need the gender specification to come up with such a phrase, the reality is that there always is a gender involved. It just so happens that "podemos" is the same whether said by a group of females, or males. So for consistency, and to keep the user always thinking of gender, we have used it at all times.
