Need to Take a Detour?

In their continuing demonstration of why they are the greatest thing in the world, Google has added the ability to drag routes in their maps. When you get directions somewhere, you can click and drag the blue route line around and to other destinations. This means that you can get your basic start and destination put in, and then make adjustments to avoid traffic, take a detour, or just realize you need to go somewhere else. The entire route can be changed after your first plotting. Start point, end point, and everything in between. It’s yet another one of those features that makes you love Google all the more.
