Google Maps are now draggable
Posted by Jacque on June 28th, 2007
A number of blogs are reporting today on Google Maps new “draggability,” which O’Reilly Radar says is a real product booster.
You can now drag a route on a map to change the streets it takes, add a destination anywhere on a map just by right-clicking or by dragging an existing place marker to a new location.
Google Blogoscope explains it this way: “First, you can right-click a part of the map and select “directions from here.” Then right-click another part of the map and pick “directions to here.” A route will appear in blue, and you can now click a spot anywhere along that route, and drag it to another position… say, because you want to make a stop someplace nice, or you prefer driving along the coast. I gotta say this drag & drop feature works extremely smooth, updating the route in real-time…”
Take a look at Google’s video.
