I was amazed at the cost also. On my to-do list is to create a similar online map for my small city. First, I have to get and install the GIS software, then I have to learn how to use it and program it, and do the route determination.

A big stumbling block also is that the city isn't giving their GIS road data away for free, and we have 300 miles of streets in this town. Plan B is to drive or bike every mile of street in this city with a GPS unit and downloading the data into the GIS.
