Check out Google Maps walking directions!

Google Maps has just added a fun (and extremely useful) new feature - walking directions. Simply type in the address you'd like to walk from and to, and you'll see a link for "walking directions". You'll have to enter in specific addresses at this point in time; I'm hoping that Google will soon be giving us the ability to find popular walking trails in our local area.

Google Maps is the only search engine that is currently offering walking directions - Ask.com had offered them previously, but they don't seem to be active anymore.
