TfL Journey planner Google gadget

TfL have launched some Google gadgets to sit on your iGoogle home page, including the journey planner. You can set a default origin or destination but these are not kept when you select "advanced options" (at least not in my test).

One of my criticisms of the journey planner is the lack of options in the non advanced mode. I would have thought planning a journey to leave now is fairly rare. I want to plug in the time I want to arrive at my destination and work backwards to when I want to leave. Maybe in the future TfL will enable users to configure the system to store a few locations (home and work, for example) and some personal preferences (walking speed for example).

Still - a step forward.
