Hey d.glover, It sounds like you're looking for 'walking directions' between two points, which is currently an available travel mode option in V3: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/reference.html#DirectionsTravelMode
In order words, you can use the DirectionsService object to retrieve a DirectionsResult object containing walking directions from point A to B. You could then easily display this on a webpage, with a map, using the DirectionsRenderer object. Have you explored this option?
