Planning Routes

As I was checking my Google Reader for the latest posts of my favorite blogs, I came across a post on Inman News discussing a tool released by the Virginia Association of Realtor's. The tool allows you to add multiple addresses into the tool and then calculate the quickest roundtrip route. Interested, I took a look and began to think.

For our rental property search, part of our functionality was going to include the ability to save listings as favorites. Something I have been contemplating before I even read about www.idealroute.com was allowing users to select from their favorites listings they want to drive to and auto calculate the quickest route or an ordered route going from one unit to the next. Include the ability to download these units as points of interests into your favorite GPS, and that might just be one powerful feature.
