It is where that Google ends and the Ask Maps begins. It is so intuitively useful when you can add multiple locations without typing. When you try to build a map guidance from point A to point B, you usually get a shortest distance guide from other Maps which may not be the desirable route you want to show your guests. You can build one with Ask Maps to guide your guests to take a most convenient route rather than the shortest route. After playing with Ask Map a little while, I don't thnk that I can live without it now. What set apart from the Ask Map to the Google Map is when you Right Click on the map.

I have been asking for this. :) I'm surprised a Google Maps mashup with this functionality hasn't already appeared. It is exceptionally useful when planning a day trip to more than one location, or, as in my current predicament, aggregating all of my mileage from work for my taxes. I was asking for this on SitePoint (to no avail) a month ago: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345896 I'm overjoyed it is here. :) Multiple locations on the same set of directions!
