Yahoo! Maps adds drag and drop rerouting

Yahoo! Maps rerouting
Yahoo! Maps has added the ability to add destinations or change routes simply by dragging and dropping the line from your starting point to your destination.

But you don't get the real-time street name and mileage updates that you get in Google Maps.

You can also easily remove a new destination just by clicking an "undo" button.
