Mountain View (CA) – Getting directions in Google Maps has just gotten a lot smarter. Users can now customize the familiar blue direction routes by simply dragging the route to another street or freeway. Stop points can also be added.

One common complaint about computerized map directions is that they usually don’t take into account recent road closures or construction. Now you can reroute the directions around a road closure and Google will calculate a new time and distance automatically.
