First up, after you change your route, a window will pop up to compare the distance and travel time of your new route with the original route. In other words, Yahoo! is not shy about telling you what a bad idea it is to veer from the directions it recommended in the first place. 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.

That's pretty awesome of Y! to finally add that.
Hopefully, with Google Maps and Y! Maps plunging into drag n' drop maps, Live Maps will get on board too, and put this feature in. And do it better. Competition is great.
Personally, I think Y! Maps is rather a bore.

Yahoos routing engine is too slow to show driving time while you are dragging the route around, which is the whole point. Their popup after the fact tries to hide how slow their engine really is.
