PCMiler for Map Drawing

I am working on an outbound implementation. The company that is very dependent on its current geographical map drawing software when routing freight. Being that OTM’s mapping functionality is weak, I wanted to see if anyone was aware of OTM users that are integrating an external mapping software with OTM. I'm thinking that something like this would help in verifying that the routes built by the OTM Bulk Plans are geographically feasible. For example, a transportation planner might want to verify: is the multistop route along the Mississippi River feasible or does it require multiple crossings?

The company is using PCMiler as its 3rd party mileage software for the standard external distance/service time lookup. But I am wondering if the integration of a visual map depicting the Bulk Plans routes has been done.
