Google recently added a new feature into their mapping service, Google Maps, which now allows creating [multiple destinations](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=California&daddr=Oregon+to:Utah+to:Montana+to:Wyoming+to:New+Mexico+to:Texas+to:Iowa+to:Kentucky+to:Alabama+to:Florida+to:New+York+to:Maine&sll=38.412784,-98.698085&sspn=51.480422,92.8125&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=4&ll=40.178873,-95.273437&spn=50.35621,92.8125&ref=skatter.com). Previously, the service only allowed use of “point A to point B” directions, however today users may create as many points as they want. Although this feature is new for Google Map users, services such as [Yahoo! Maps](http://maps.yahoo.com/?ref=skatter.com) has already had this feature for several months.

When using [Google Maps](http://maps.google.com/?ref=skatter.com), destinations can easily be reorganized by simply dragging them to a different point on the time line. One thing we found to be quite annoying is the fact that the entire page must be reloaded before a destination can be added. Therefore the page must be refreshed 5 times before your final map is ready if you plan to add 5 locations. I would expect Google to add the ability to enter multiple points at once in the future before asking your browser to refresh. Overall, the new feature makes Google Maps a more powerful tool. We suggest checking out both Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps. (Please let us know which one you prefer!)
