Yes, it's a pretty cool idea. I wrote a scheduling module a while back that used MapQuest to auto-generate directions for service techs, but that doesn't work without the web so I thought about MapPoint. You can get a developer kit for it pretty easily, but your users have to buy a license. It is quite nice, actually. Back then Google was an also-ran so I hadn't thought about using it instead. Only catch for me that would prevent me from using it now is that Google doesn't show the correct location for my home so I don't use it when giving directions here to someone else. Not all the roads go through, either, so it has people driving off a cliff on the way as well... ... but it will get better with time.
