I'm on vacation again so please pardon the delays between posts. I'm using Google Maps a bit, or at least trying to. I looked up a place 2.3 miles away. Pretty straight forward, I thought. In city driving, they estimated I could get there in 7 minutes. Seemed about right, I thought. But they estimate my walking time would be 48 minutes. One way. Wait. What? Now I'm not one of those Olympic walker types, and I don't do the arm pumps when I walk, but I think I can walk 2.3 miles in less than 48 minutes. That's 21 minute mile pace if you're keeping score at home. Is google aware of some type of injury I have or am about to incur? Do they not like my shoes?
What I really like are the walk time estimates for when you're going farther away, like 15 miles. Are these necessary? Does Google know the Amish don't likely use Google Maps?
