PITA: Personal Travel Agent for Car Travelers

PITA (Personal Interactive Travel Agent) is a useful Google Maps mashup for car travelers. It can show important information along the driving route entered by the user. This information includes detailed directions, traffic data, nearby businesses and weather forecasts.

The site is easy to use and has straightforward interface, just click anywhere on the map and get information on weather and local services for that point. You can further filter results by the service type (food, shopping, hotels, tourist attractions, gas stations) and also search for something more specific by choosing “Other” and using related keywords.
