A thing that I wonder

[dianec42]

Waaaaay back in the early days of the intermanets, when Mapquest et al were new, you could plot a route from Point A to Point B, and some of these sites would actually give you a CHOICE of routes... avoiding highways; fastest, shortest, etc...

How come they stopped doing that? And to my Googlish friends: Doesn't that seem like it would be useful? You could add it to Google Maps! People would love you even more!

Seriously... my sat nav does this, why can't teh intrawebz???
