Gas Prices too high? Consider Walking for short distances!!

Google realizes that considering the current Gas Prices it might not be a bad idea to go walking for short distances. It would be lighter on your wallet and might make some of us lighter too.

So what has Google Maps done? They have introduced a brand new feature on Google Maps. Now you can get "Walking Directions" in addition to "Driving Directions". For example you are enjoying a meal at Ashoka Indian Cusine in Canton, MI. For whatever reason you decide that next you want to visit the Canton Hindu Temple. So instead of driving you might want to consider walking. And if your geographically challenged then head over to Google Maps for walking directions. Key in "2100 N Haggerty Rd, Canton, MI 48187 (Ashoka Indian Cuisine)" as your start location and for destination type in "44955 Cherry Hill Rd, Canton, MI 48188 (Hindu Temple)". You can now either pick "Driving Directions" or "Walking Directions". Here's what it looks like: (information on this feature found at Google LatLong Blog)
