The driving directions feature on Google Maps is an extremely important function that many users rely on to plan their routes in advance. To look up driving directions between two locations, we usually just need to click "Get Directions" and then input the specific addresses for both the starting point and the destination. Google Maps will then automatically calculate and return the driving route results. Occasionally, Google Maps might suggest taking a swim, but most of the time, the routes it provides are still useful references.

Starting now, you can also use Google Maps' driving directions feature in a new way. Google Maps has just added a new feature that allows users to directly drag and modify the driving route. For example, if I want to go from Lo Wu to Lok Ma Chiu, I just need to right-click on the Lo Wu location on Google Maps and select "Directions from here" (starting point).
