I simply love it. I used to use the "walking" option, though the Bicycling option seems to do an even better job of picking a route. (Yes, it likely does make some decisions on keeping the route shorter in certain instances.)
One of the many great things about Google Maps is that you click on the route and drag it to different roads. It is VERY easy to customize your route. You can RIGHT-CLICK (sorry cannot help you Mac people) on the map and Add Destination. So initial routes might not be perfect, there are LOTS of ways to visually review your route using satellite view and change your route. I thought it did a pretty decent job of picking an acceptable route. For instance, here is a link to an anticipated route for this weekend: http://tinyurl.com/yzoc8c8 On Mar 11, 10:55 pm, Dave Minyard <salukiri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > Google maps has a new feature still in beta...it will give directions for > bicycling.
