Just noticed this option today. Could be useful for planning bike trips.


So where in Google Maps is this option? I couldn't find it.

Click on "Get Directions" in the upper left quadrant just below the
"Google Maps" logo, and choose "Walking" from the pull down menu in the
lower left of the dialog box that appears.

Thanks! I played with it a little and it looks like it could be useful
for routes in my area.
