With the high price of gas these days, you'd think Google would put out an application where the users of such an app. could find and also estimate the mileage between hotels out on the roads, User starting on a trip from NY and whos final destination is California would be able to see the hotels on Interstate 80 and the distance between each, and calculate gas usage and so forth. hotel trip planning.
You would think that but as some people have pointed out before Google has been lacking in lots of categories of there work, including Adsense. Now the Google App on iPhone is pretty useful but what your trying to say here is pretty much a add-on to Google Maps...? Its a smart idea defiantly but in Google's eyes, unless a million or more people are going to use it, we are not going to make it... Maybe hit them with a phone call if you feel passionate about this, cause an email won't get you anywhere.
