Google Maps adds drag and drop tweaking
Read about this on one of my favorite geek/productivity blogs, lifehacker:
Google Maps: Drag and drop to tweak your driving route
Don’t like the driving route Google Maps doled out to you? Now you can change the driving directions by grabbing the blue route line and dragging it to create a new destination point, which will in turn create a new route.
I’ve been wanting this feature from any online mapping service, for *years*. I’ve talked about it countless times with friends, co-workers, classmates, etc. The ability to say “No, dummy, I’m not taking 66. It’s rush hour!” or “Ack! No way, they’re doing road work on that road this week, and it’s a mess.” is something that I’ve always wished for.
I haven’t tried this feature on Google Maps yet, but I look forward to playing with it sometime in the near future!
