On android I just (from london) typed "Washington DC to New York" and it instantly popped me up directions for the other side of the world, with two editable boxes.

That seems pretty decent UX wise?

That is such a narrow use case. Were you actually planning that trip I am sure you would find the UX lacking.

* What about stops along the way?

* What about saving the results for later?

* What if you want to do some other mapping task in the middle of all this?

* Are the directions given feasible?
