Another reason to love Apple: iPhone 2.2 update includes walking and transit directions
From iLounge, a look at the iPhone update which includes new mapping features for - gasp - walking and transit!
Walking and Transit Directions
In addition to the driving directions that have been available in the Maps application since the beginning, users may now choose to see directions appropriate to walking, or transit information (where available). When viewing directions in Maps, three buttons are now shown at the top of the screen to allow you to toggle between the three types of directions. Driving and walking directions differ both in terms of the selected routes and the travel time displayed. Driving routes tend to prefer major streets and highways while walking routes naturally avoid them, preferring a more direct route and even using pedestrian-only pathways where this data is available.
"...includes new mapping features for - gasp - walking and transit!"
This will have all the value of Confederate money on the walkable, transit-laden streets of the south suburbs!
