I just learned about Lumatic today (http://lumatic.com/ http://lumatic.com/) and it seems like a worthy replacement for transit directions in many places. Here in Boston it seems to think that I am not near any transit, but it does happily use the transit near my house to route me on different trips. I like the landmark-based turn-by-turn navigation -- I hope that's something that becomes more useful as time goes on.
