At last, this has been a long time coming. I wonder if they’ll put in obvious landmarks so you can tell if you’re going in the right direction or not?

I agree it’s a nifty tool, and have been using it for years on whereis.com, the Australian mapping website. All you have to do is select ‘Travel by Foot’ when you’re getting a directions search. It uses walking and bike trails to calculate the route!

Yeah that rocks. Let me experiment with a few routes to work (without being late) through the wee maze of streets and see how the distance and everything. Top marks.

@nobrainerdeals: I can definitly see people using it in major cities. Saving some money on public transportation and just walking it out. Also the high gas prices are all the inspiration many people need.
