"Stay on Interstate 90 for one thousand, four hundred and twenty miles." Thanks, Google. #amazemeroadtrip
@thatjohn how far off the direct route is acceptable? How do you balance time and distance against interest and value?

@DaveHogue That'll vary for every trip. Maybe have a slider? -
@thatjohn hard to do a slider - the endpoints are vague and variable - user tolerance for diversion affected by MANY factors... -
@DaveHogue but like... "Show me: [o] Points of interest within a [25] minute detour of my route." -
@thatjohn we need to build in fudge space, because most people would consider something AMAZING that is farther than the limit they set. -
@DaveHogue right. I wonder if there can be some tailoring by recent searches, Gmail bookings, etc. Even if optin. -
@thatjohn search history maybe, but "search along a route" is hard to capture - if u search for stuff in 3 cities, does that mean roadtrip? -
@DaveHogue no...maybe it's Google Road Trip Planner web app ;) -
@thatjohn I think "Road Trips by Google" - because "planner" sounds a exciting as "spreadsheet." - 2 more replies
