Google Maps – New Feature + a Bug!
I love this- not only can you get a route from a to b, but if you decide you want to visit places c or d along the route, you can drag the route line, and it recalculates the directions and distances.
I entered Watford and Watford Gap and then dragged the route out to a somewhat more meandering route as you can see.

The bug- well click find directions and enter Watford and Watford gap. It should say 60.6 miles. Now click the Get Reverse Directions link and it’s suddenly 67.6 miles! Seven extra miles, yet it looks the same on the map? That’s only a minor bug, this is still terrific technology.
