Google Maps ditches misguided walking calorie counter

I actually think that this is a cool feature. Are people so over-sensitive that they think that a pink cupcake targets women? I just assumed that pink worked with the color scheme and was "cute".

I thought that having the (projected) calorie counting feature was a nice addition. There are plenty of apps that will tell you how many calories you burn after the fact. I don't know of any that predict how many you can burn based on locations.
