just goes to show that Google has no problem spending money to make a great product, even better. I mean how many people will actually use something like this?

I mean how many people will actually use something like this? But for those few, Google will be the only option
- RyanMcGreal 17y agohow many people will actually use something like this? More people, simply because it exists.
- tdedecko 17y agoThis is great for the Google Maps walking feature. Assuming they are gather gps data for these bicycle paths. This should enhance the walking feature to give it more specific and direct directions for being on foot or bike. The visual data is useful for cyclists to check road conditions. (I use street view to ensure that roads aren't dirt roads.)

- teuobk 17y agoThere's a service called Cyclopath operated by the University of Minnesota that's doing exactly that, albeit only for the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
- mseebach 17y agoI used streetview for a trip recently, I had the whole neighborhood around the places I was going mapped out in my mind from day one. It felt like I returned to a place I already knew. Pretty cool. Paths will only add to that.
