I wish mapping websites like maps.google.com & maps.yahoo.com had a ‘next’ or ‘try again’ feature after giving you a set of directions.
So many times I can see that there is an alternate route that may be faster, more entertaining, etc. and if I could only say “next”, meaning “perform another route planning, but this time, ignore the connecting streets from the previous route planned”.
Even better (and perhaps more tractable) would be to let one select which street in the current route to delete and route around.
On so many routes I get mapped I’m often saying “yes, yes, that’s all very fine and good, but what if I don’t want to take BigNastyChoked Bvld.”
