Walking Directions in Google Maps.
Google has added a cool new feature onto their direction mapping service. Google walking directions, give pedestrians the most direct and flat route possible. Google maps also suggests “use caution when walking in unfamiliar areas.” I have noticed that Walking option is only displayed for destinations which are walkable. Even though it miss some information like side walks or pedestrian bridges it is a useful addition. Google Map’s walking direction feature is still in beta.

Interior on the Map.
EveryScape Inc is developing a mapping service which displays interior of the buildings. Google’s Street View doesn’t have this feature. EveryScape employed individual contractors to take pictures of the street. Once an area has been mapped, EveryScape will approach local businesses to having their interiors photographed and listed in the map. EveryScape got more than $11 million from Venture Capital firms, a sign that the idea has a potential.
