Something Shiny

So, maybe the directions aren’t perfect yet… note in the screen shot it has me off a good trail and on a busy city street to save a block or two on a 7 mile trip, but just the fact that Google has included trails as a route option is very nice. Thanks Google, you’re the best!

Hit up Google Maps to find trails in your neighborhood, and/or watch the video below for more information.
