[eppur_se_muova]

Walking directions are in beta.
Use caution – This route may be missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths.

Your search for transit directions from *** to *** appears to be outside our current coverage area. Please consult our list of participating public transit agencies {link}.

Bicycling directions are in beta.
Use caution and please report unmapped bike routes, streets that aren't suited for cycling, and other problems here {link}.

Start at http://maps.google.com/ and click on "Get Directions". Just click on the icons above the text fields A and B for origin and destination.

Biking directions tend to follow smaller state and US roads; obviously interstate highways are off limits. Just found out I could bike all the way to Atlanta on something called the "Silver Comet Trail".
