google directions allows you to add up to 26 places. it gives you driving directions, estimated time to drive each leg, and miles etc. It does not sync up with date/time info though.
basically the idea is to have the interface like google directions, https://maps.google.com/ but add a date field and time field next to each location you add. That way you can plan where you will be when.
This can work for everyone from parents doing errands, where they need to leave work by a certain time, then get to the soccer practice by a certain time, then home by a certain time. Or for someone planning a 2 week road trip. you add 20 locations and the dates/times you need to be there. Using google's genius directions info, you get the drive times, the distances etc.... but then also create a way for all that data to be synced with date/time info.
I would imagine that once someone was logged in they would have a set of favorite locations, where they could just set the times they need to be places... also ideas like syncing with facebook checkins or foursquare, also ideas like having the app show you various entertainment or eating places, or gas stations along your planned trip, if you wanted.
