Has anyone seen or worked on an implementation of Google Maps (preferably with ASP.NET, but I'd like to see all comers) that allows a user to give a "starting drive time" and then shows store locations within a certain radius of points along a route that will be open at the approximate time the driver will be at that point?
Example of application: Driver will leave point A at 6:00 am, driving along a Google Map- derived route to point B, which Google estimates will take 2 hours and 30 minutes to travel (without stops, of course). Driver needs to pick up a prescription before arriving at point B, but the store closest to point A doesn't open until 8:00 am, at which time he will be almost to point B, and therefore 2 hours away from the store close to home. Unfortunately, point B is fairly remote and the closest pharmacy to point B on his route is 45 minutes away and likewise doesn't open until 8:00 am, meaning he will arrive there 15 minutes before it opens and will be delayed, making him miss his 8:30 am appointment. Driver is not familiar with the area one hour into his drive, but it turns out there is a 24-hour pharmacy less than 5 miles from where he will be at 7:00 am. If he knew about it, he could plan his trip to drive-thru on his way through town and not be late for his 8:30 appointment. Driver also doesn't realize that another pharmacy is only 10 miles further past point B that opens at 8:00. If he left 20 minutes earlier, he could make it to that pharmacy and back to point B in time. I look forward to hearing about options along these lines.
