Google Maps Gets Even Better

By now, most of you are familiar with Google Maps, and know it is the favorite here at Fastpitchwest. It’s a great tool to find your way to a tournament, or just get a bird’s eye view of the place.

But Google Maps just got even better. You can now change the route (e.g. freeway) that Google gives you for driving directions. You know how sometimes you know taking a freeway is a better route to the tournament, but it doesn’t come up in Google maps (or any other)? Well, just grab the blue route line and put it on the road you want to take and it will recalculate those driving directions for you.

Don’t like the driving route Google Maps doled out to you? Now you can change the driving directions by grabbing the blue route line and dragging it to create a new destination point, which will in turn create a new route.
