walkit and save the world!

Walkit (no that's not a typo - it's a name) is a new website that shows you routes to walk from one place to another most efficiently. Currently it's only for London in the UK but it's really rather cool (especially since I work there).

The difference between this and something like Google maps is that it shows you the route you can take on foot, ignoring things like traffic and one way streets. It also tells you how much time it will take (at various walking speeds), how many calories you will burn, and how much C02 will not be created because of you.

There's also a map of the route and written directions.

I like this site and hope it continues to grow.
