Google Maps for Android already offers directions for driving, walking and public transport. Now it's added cycling – but only in the US at present, and only for Android 1.6 users.
Other new features include the ability to share your location through email, messaging or Twitter (in addition to Google Latitude) and a new quick-launch navigation icon for your programme launcher.
Roads with bike lanes are highlighted in light green, while roads that lack dedicated bike lanes but are still bike-friendly are shown in dashed green. Bike-only trails show in dark green.
