Did you know you can get “Walking Directions” from Google? I tried it out. I entered the Middlesex North Registry of Deeds at 360 Gorham Street as my start location and the UMass Lowell Camp Inn and Convention Center located at 50 Warren Street as the destination.
Below are the results...
Walking directions are in beta.
Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths.

Those of you out there thinking "so what, who needs walking directions"...first, stop being so negative and second consider this...What if you are visiting a big city like Boston or Philadelphia and doing a walking tour of historical sites...all you have to do is plug "where you are" and "where you want to go" into your cell phone's browser and bang...the directions pop up right in front of you.
Now, I think this is pretty cool, even though I am not much of a walker.
