Google is just the epitome of coolness and innovation. Hopefully anyone that has used Mapquest switched to Google Maps years ago. Google simply has had a cleaner set up with extreme customization for a while, and now it is even better. Yesterday a new feature was quietly released.
How often have you made a route and realized that you wanted to change the route, such as when you knew it would be better to get off at one point where the route suggested a different point? Maybe you wanted to make a stop someplace in particular along the way and wanted to include that stop.I figured this might just be something that is too difficult to implement, but the Google guys and gals have done it again.
Now once you create a route, you can simply grab the blue line (create route) and the point you want changed and then drag it to another location on the map. The server will quickly recalculate the route. Here is a tutorial: http://maps.google.com/help/maps/directions/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-mapshpp-na-us-google&utm_medium=mapshpp
You may now add in additional destinations and change routes as you see fit. This is incredibly cool and extremely useful.
