Default Coming Soon: Mileage Database - Google Maps

A visitor named David just emailed me with a great idea for the mileage database. Currently we only have the location of a car registered by state. I'd like to encorporate Google Maps to pinpoint the location of one's home area, trip location, trip route, etc.

Good idea?

So you want to post a map from my house to where I work on the internet?

Haha. I'm not saying your address, necessarily. The Google Maps system lets you zoom in/out or be as specific/general as you like. Here's Orlando, FL:
