The UK-based consumer-facing and B2B metasearch engine now allows users to select any location on a Google map for the From and To fields of a trip.

TravelFusion building point-to-point tools, start of a giant leap for metasearch
December 9, 2009 By 7 Comments
Metasearch is finally climbing into what could be an exciting second phase with news that TravelFusion is developing new functionality to allow full travel plan searches.
The UK-based firm will launch an overhauled version of its consumer-facing website in early-2010 to include point-to-point metasearch featuring a breakdown of time and prices of transportation to and from the main departure and arrival points of a trip.
The functionality is similar to the widely praised, closed-beta only Zoombu metasearch engine, which also has point-to-point search capability.
