Though it might not be 100% accurate as it assumes pedestrian always using pathways but it surely is better than getting driving routes which has one-ways all into it.Rahulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717710396964988055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-83978460858958397672008-07-23T20:58:00.000-07:002008-07-23T20:58:00.000-07:00I find the warning to watch unfamiliar areas funny...I find the warning to watch unfamiliar areas funny because chances are if you're using Google Maps to find your way around, you're not familiar with the area.lsmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826991773278503537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-83547706957471336112008-07-23T09:08:00.000-07:002008-07-23T09:08:00.000-07:00What do you wanna bet MS paid Ask for the inclusio...What do you wanna bet MS paid Ask for the inclusion?Ephileihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042877732655118785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-70701349624533835282008-07-23T07:17:00.000-07:002008-07-23T07:17:00.000-07:00walking directions LA to NYC !http://maps.google.c...walking directions LA to NYC !<BR/><BR/>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=10051326957173980944,40.729190,-73.987240&saddr=5129+Cahuenga+Blvd,+North+Hollywood,+CA+91601&daddr=40.765982,-73.976183&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=14&dirflg=w&doflg=ptm&sll=40.747712,-73.976612&sspn=0.043111,0.074415&ie=UTF8&z=14pmoshayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404236642073625828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-47252189208770330232008-07-23T03:13:00.000-07:002008-07-23T03:13:00.000-07:00The walking directions on my sample route near my ...The walking directions on my sample route near my town are just as good for a use with a car as walking. Google appears not to realise that when walking you can cut across public parks!<BR/>It also happens to direct you yhe wrong way along a one-way street with driving directions, making them better for walking and the walking instructions don't, so they are actually better for driving!<BR/>Just looking at the public transport option: it's done better than the dedicated local public transport sites do!son_of_malcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566675266279647829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-66566122894438331042008-07-23T03:09:00.000-07:002008-07-23T03:09:00.000-07:00UK already has this service with sites like Street...UK already has this service with sites like Streetmap.co.uk .

Driving directions: 5.0 km. Walking directions: 5.2 km. I wonder why Google suggests I walk an extra 0.2 km. It is perfectly possible to walk the driving route, and the walking route is not obviously quieter or more scenic.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159965456052359554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-69428730585545710112008-07-22T21:38:00.000-07:002008-07-22T21:38:00.000-07:00how does google maps tell you what side of the roa...how does google maps tell you what side of the road to drive on?Christopher Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312556455394114380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-42892230923653883442008-07-22T17:08:00.000-07:002008-07-22T17:08:00.000-07:00I'll 'use caution' alright!
