OMG Cool blue Ajax line on google maps

OMG Google maps now lets you drag the blue route line to customize your route!! Very cool use of Ajax - it updates the directions text as you drag the blue line on the map! And you can even move the start and end points with the mouse too. I love it!

Here is an example for those of you too lazy to type in your own map start and end points.

Ok I know this feature has been out for a few months but it is so cool I wanted to share it with others who might not have noticed it yet!

Mary Jo's Gravatar Yeah, I noticed this feature recently when I was mapping a trip to a friend's house and they told me to avoid a particular road that the mapping software always tries to send you on. I was just dragging the map around and noticed that I could change the route, too cool!

Michael Evangelista's Gravatar Hi Michael -
thanks for pointing this out, very cool.

I will see if perhaps this can get on John Blayter's feature request for the next cf_googlemaps.cfc, which I love and use regularly!

ps - comments are alive and well ;-)

Roger Maves's Gravatar Michael posted a reference to cf_googlemaps.cfc - can you tell me where I can get information on this?
