Google City Tour

LOS ANGELES TIMES SERVICE

Have you taken a Google City Tour? The latest experiment (citytours.googlelabs.com) from Google Labs suggests multiday travel itineraries using Google maps.

What's hot: Google is becoming more involved with travel. If you're making a trip to New York, for instance, you can let City Tours take you from Grand Central Station to Times Square, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Museum of Modern Art, and more. You can customize your itinerary by adding or removing popular places to visit from its list, or you can type in your own spot. You can also divide a five-day trip into a day-by-day itinerary.

What's not: So far, the service has suggested itineraries for only New York, San Francisco, London and Dublin, Ireland. We tried to test some cities off the lineup (Las Vegas and San Diego), and it was obvious they were not quite ready for public consumption. Keep your eye on this site as the product grows.
