Google has added a new feature to Google Maps which I first experienced when testing out Ask.com’s AskCity, multiple destination directions.
Google Maps lets users pin separate destinations and then build an itinerary of driving directions between each locale. AskCity does something similar, but with the option of walking directions.
Philipp Lenssen looks at Google Maps and Multiple Destinations:
Google added a feature that lets you add multiple destinations to your driving directions. For example, I’m searching Google Maps for [from stuttgart, germany, to cologne, germany]. Then there’s a link titled “Add destination…” below the left-hand description; clicking it, I can enter a third destination ([aachen, germany], in this case), and another marker will be added to the map. Note Google put some thought into the usability details: the first marker is green with a “play” icon, the second marker is yellow with a “pause” icon, and the final marker is red with a “stop” icon.
