Google Maps wants to help you get where you're going on foot with a new option to switch your step-by-step driving directions to walking directions. The main difference between walking and driving directions appears to be time estimates, with Google estimating your walking pace at about 19 minutes per mile. The walking directions appear to deviate from driving directions at times. It presumably allows one to walk the wrong way down a one way street and prevents you from walking down car only lanes and bridges. This is a good thing.
