Google Maps Now Does Interactive Re-Routing

An anonymous reader writes "Remember how cool it was the first time you used MapQuest or Google Maps or Google Earth? You'll feel like it's the first time again, when you use interactive dragging of routes on Google Maps. Some of the folks from the development team have even whipped up a handy video to explain the concept."

  1. Nice, Yes, But It's Not Amazing by JeremyBanks · · Score: 0, Troll

    People keep posting on other sites about how brilliant this is and how amazing Google's programmers are. Although I do really like it myself, all it does is make add another trip location where you click, and it's just a matter of calculating the route from the start to your point and from your point to the end, using the same stuff they've allready programmed. There's almost nothing new here.

    so now the world know two things:
    1) Where you are at.
    2) You will be alone.

    I would change your plan if I were you....Call a couple of hookers, and have them stop to buy a bottle of whiskey on the way over.
