While the interface is very cool and certainly an improvement over Mapquest et al, I question some of the driving directions.
They don't seem to be the quickest/ most efficient way of getting there.

For example, I typed in Chicago to Seattle and it routes you through North Dakota

!! That makes no sense. You can just take I-90 all the way.

Also did Chicago to Ft Wayne, Indiana and I question that routing as well. This program definitely seems to ignore the rule of "shortest distance between two points is a straight line", rather it seems to favor the Interstate highways....

Just my 2 cents (if it's even worth THAT much

)
