Now you are making me want to win any of the birthday prizes that include the premium membership. This feature sounds amazing especially as I am planning a trip begining a week from today.

You may have to give a tutorial because - as always us idiots in the bunch are having issues making it work well. Also - the map is very touchy when trying to move it around when zoomed in. One click and drag and I magically went from Houston to Newfoundland - no joke. This only seems to occur before the route zips are entered in. After you hit go - it doesn't seem to be jumpy.

Seems ok here.. I haven't tested much in IE but I know it draws the map a little slower so maybe that's it. Also, you can enter your actual address and the destination address, you don't have to stick to zip codes.

wicked cool, Tim... been hoping for this for a long time. Thanks.

Can't wait to see the ability to be able to save these trips. I've had a lot of fun playing with it this morning. One thing I'd like to see is the ability to enter more than one destination. For instance, let's say I'm driving from Grand Rapids, MI to Richmond, VA... obviously that route is going to look a lot different if I decide to drive to Nashville and then to Richmond instead of just taking the shortest route there.

Oh, and the remove played courses option is worth the $25. I'm ecstatic about that feature.

That would be possible but I'd have to figure out how to let you choose where you'd want to insert courses between the various stops.. that's the hard part. In your case, you'd just have to do the Grand Rapids -> Nashville leg first, and then do Nashville -> Richmond. A little extra work but the same results in the end.

It is version 1.0.. I'm sure I'll figure out ways to improve it in the future

what about making multiple stops? i mean like getting directions where you can enter in multiple stops?
