Google Maps: Drag & Drop Routes

Don't like the driving route Google Maps doled out to you? Now you can change the driving directions by grabbing the blue route line and dragging it to create a new destination point, which will in turn create a new route.

As you drag your new destination point, the route changes on the fly to give you an idea of how your new point will change your route. It's always been a little annoying—especially when you want to send a map to another person—when you know the default directions don't highlight the best route, so this excellent and easy-to-use feature will certainly come in useful. To undo your changes, just right-click the new destination point and select "Remove this destination."
