Google maps, now with biking directions


Google maps has added biking directions and an overlay layer to see bike paths and recommended streets, cool!  In the past I’ve used the walking directions to get the most appropriate route on bike, but this is much more detailed.

My fair city of Hattiesburg MS shows the Longleaf Trace Rails to Trails, but no recommended streets.  I wonder if they lack the data… or that they recommend no one ride on the streets here.  My future home of Austin however shows lots of data.  Check the official video for more info:
