Walking is great exercise. But while American suburban sprawl doesn’t naturally lend itself to walk-happy travel, $4.00/gallon gas is sparking some to slip on their sneakers to total nearby errands.

Conveniently, Google Maps recently added a walking directions option to its website. Pop in your to/from and it’ll spit out route, mileage and estimated date to walk to your destination.

Cool! According to Google Maps, my neighborhood grocery store is 1.4 miles absent and should take 27 minutes to walk there. Ha — I can walk faster than 3 mph! possibly Google should add a ‘jogging at X-mph’ option, too. Now whether only Americans

could habitable in European-like villages with fresh, biological food markets scattered on street corners. Nothing wrong with Big Suburban dreaming, right?
