Maybe later. At the moment, I'm under the gun to get the transportation
component built for a medical referral application. Using Google's
native API is the quickest route (pun unintended) for that. I completed
most of the maps stuff last night and I know that when they see it the
client will probably request yet more functionality that's not in that
PHP API.
