1 of 3 Enter Japan as the start and China as the endpoint in google map directions.
Take a look at item 43.
2 of 3 Classic case of "if you have to ask..."
I can see a full-featured directions/mapping service where the results are based upon settings, such as level of adventure, budget, time constraints (or lack thereof). Or in the case of motorcycling, preferences for twisties/highway, quickest/scenic, historical landmarks, etc.
3 of 3 yea, that's the kind of thing I'm hoping to develop as a layer on top of google maps for this site.
