[MLUG - DISCUSSION] more Google goodness

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I don't know for how long it has been working like this, but if you do a 
"directions" in Google Maps, and it chooses a route that you don't like, 
you can drag the route and reposition it.

Example:  For a route I just put in, which runs north-south, there is an 
eastern road and a western road, but Google Maps chose the western one...

My place to the zoo (with lots of city streets):

So I just put my mouse cursor on the middle of the route and dragged it 
toward the east and it gave me what I wanted:

My place to the zoo my way (more highway, fewer city streets):

What it is doing is letting you choose an additional destination by 
dragging, but that destination could be a highway you want to take.  I 
really like the way it works.
