Google Maps Now Suggests Alternative Routes

Google Maps Now Suggests Alternative Routes

Google Maps now in certain routes automatically creates an

alternative route.

This can be helpful for users wanting more choice when using the

driving directions from Google.

The 'suggested' option is currently available in Google Maps only

and not the Google Maps API.

The map above route with suggested routes is available with this link:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Brighton,

+UK&daddr=Southampton,+UK&hl=en&mra=ls&dirflg=h&sll

=50.93898,-0.769805&sspn=1.014219,2.471924&ie=UTF8&ll

=50.870111,-0.769043&spn=1.015729,2.471924&z=9

Dragging the routes is still available after a suggested route is selected.
