Thought you all might find this interesting - Google just launched Extended Routes, which could revolutionize how we plan those complicated multi-stop journeys. As someone who's struggled with Google Maps' limitations while planning road trips, this is huge. The tool lets you plot more complex routes and actually export them, which addresses one of the biggest frustrations with the standard version.
What really excites me is how this could transform the way we approach trip planning. Think about those epic cross-country road trips or European train adventures where you're hitting multiple cities - this tool could make plotting those routes so much more intuitive. Plus, being able to export routes means better sharing with travel companions and having offline backups. Though I wonder if this might impact the business of dedicated route planning apps like Roadtrippers. Anyone else thinking this could be the push needed to finally plan that dream cross-country adventure?
Anyone planning to use this for an upcoming trip?
