I love Google Maps. I swear, whenever I think of something they could do to improve it, they do that very thing within three months. It’s like they can read my mind. Latest example: they’ve changed their "customize your route" feature so that it doesn’t create an extra "stop" at the arbitrary point that you drag the cursor to. Instead of a big ugly yellow pause-sign thingy, dragging & dropping now just creates a little white dot, and the driving directions are continuous. You can still manually create an a multiple-stop trip, of course, by using the "Add destination…" link or by typing to:[wherever] as many times as you want in the "End address" box. But you don’t have to create faux-stops just to customize your route from Point A to Point B. Brilliant.
