google maps -- for bikes?

_dkg_, currently of NYC and formerly of the Bay Area and Atlanta, raises a good point, which I am bugging him to put in his journal. In the mean time, I repost here:

the problem with Google Maps: their route planning is specifically geared towards the automobile driver.

spurred by a recent thread on metafilter, i just wrote them the following note via their comments form ("send feedback" from http://maps.google.com/).

( an advocacy letter )

If lots of folks did something like this, maybe they'd listen?

peace,
