Google maps is just as good as the AA maps she currently uses, but since
she has a lot of people she needs to see in different locations, each week
the mileage is different.

A spreadsheet of the different people in respect to their mileage between
each other would be a quick lookup, but if she could bring up something
where she can click on the start point and get the miles to the next
location, or for the entire day's travel via the waypoints.

I might just knock something together in mysql that she can choose a
dropdown of candidates and have it tally the total mileage as she goes.
