But you don't have to just be going on a walk to benefit from this new service; it's also helpful if you're using Google Maps for public transit directions and want the best way to get from one stop to another. http://maps.google.com " Odds are that most of the directions are correct - or nearly so - tho I = expect there will be some really wrong ones.
