Virtual Earth Features
I like Virtual Earth. The interface is slick, but i really like the ability to do a local search. I have used it to map out some trips in the past. I wanted to go to a bunch of electronics stores today and i tried to create my trip. I found though you can only have three searches going at a time. That was ok. I could work around that by adding the stores i wanted to go to to the scratch pad. Unfortunately though, i could only add 5 entries to the scratch pad. That totally sucks. The first thing, I understand. They are just trying to keep the number of searches they do to a minimum to make sure the page performs well. The second thing, I dont understand.
Another feature I want is an implementation of a shortest route algorithm for all the stores I want to go to. I mean, with gas prices the way they are, this has to be a killer feature. Of course, I also want the ability to specify dependencies.
