Yahoo! Maps has added the capability to add destinations or change routes simply by dragging and dropping the line from your starting point to your destination. This is a feature Google Maps has had for a few months now, but the Yahoo! Maps version actually has a few extra features that make it well worth the wait.
First up, after you change your route, a window will pop up to compare the distance and travel time of your new route with the original route. In other words, Yahoo! isn’t shy about telling you what a bad idea it is to veer from the directions it suggested in the first place. But you don’t get the real-time street name and mileage updates that you get in Google Maps.
You can also easily remove a new destination just by clicking an “undo” button.
