bradm Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I don't use Google Maps much (generally relying on MapQuest), but they have a wicked new feature: when you get directions from one place to another, you can click and drag points on the route it suggests to go through other places, and the map will automagically change the route to go through the other place. I think it can also give you info on current traffic conditions, which you can then drag-and-drop your route to run around problem areas. Full info and a demo are available athttp://maps.google.com/help/maps/directions/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-mapshpp-na-us-google&utm_medium=mapshppAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 forgot about another good new feature - instead of having to know the address / intersection for the directions, you can just right click and select 'directions to here' or 'directions from here' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
