So many roads, so many choices. I'm leaving for Death Valley tomorrow and checking the maps to decide what route to take.
Did you know that Google Maps will help you find the Road Less Traveled? Click the Options link and select Avoid Highways. Google will find alternate routes to your destination and list the times and distances.
Another way to plot an interesting route is to grab the line on the map and tow it to another town or junction. Goggle will reroute the rest of the trip to accommodate your new point. Just put the cursor on the trip line, then click and drag it to a new location.
Lastly, you can add destinations in the original menu. Click Add Destination and type in a new way point. A bonus is that you can type in a name from your address book and Google will fill in the address. It also knows the names of national parks and points of interest. Drag any destination up or down to reorder the trip until it's just the way you want it.
