NewsGoogle Maps Now Helps You Stroll to Your Destination

Google Maps now offers walking directions

Search Engine Roundtable reports that Google Maps now provides optional walking directions. Just click Get Directions, enter the starting and ending addresses, click the Get Directions button, and select the Walking option. You get a map with walker-friendly directions (no freeways for you!) and timings as part of the package.
