2008_07_23 google walking.jpgWe rely a lot on Google Maps for local directions and use it quite heavily on the mobile phone when out of town. While the directions are usually pretty good, when we were off on business trips (and coincidentally in the middle of the city without a car) using Google Maps for walking directions became an exercise in self serve route planning.

With walking directions now in beta for Google Maps, there are no more one way streets screwing up your route....and only 43 days and 17 hours to walk from New York to San Francisco.
