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.
