Google or Yahoo maps experience?

Report · Jan 23, 2009

On our intranet we schedule transportation trips where up to 20 different clients are picked up and brought back to our daycenter.

The staff wants to be able to order the clients, and then have a map print out the route to take between addresses. We already maintain a list of the addresses, so that is covered.

Is there any particular API out there for any of the map providers that will take a list of addresses and create a corresponding route?

Would I need to dictate the order of the pickups, or is the API smart enough to determine the most efficient pickup order based on location?
