Startup Idea: Customizable GPS Routing App

Startup idea to develop a GPS app allowing users to manually manipulate and customize their travel route by dragging the projected line on the map. This would potentially appeal to users who deliberately want to take less direct routes, such as motorcyclists who enjoy scenic rides.

I would like a GPS app where you could use your finger to draw or drag your route to the roads you would like to take. My fiance and I ride motorcycles. We dont like taking the most direct route. I will go online using my laptop and usually use Mapquest to design a route to get to a destination. When I pull the app up on my phone it will not let me drag to a different route. I have to "fool" the map into going the way I want to go by putting in several different stop points to go down roads I want to go down. It would be much easier to be able to drag the line with your finger to the roads you want to travel on.

I have downloaded several GPS apps hoping one would allow me to drag my route to where I want it to be but have not found one. What I do now is I have to take a lot of time to plug in different "waypoints" to get to where I want to go using the roads I want to be on.
