Just for fun, try the walk button.

I travel a lot, and usually like walking, but last year it became impossible to use Google Maps for that because it no longer shows paths that cross freeways, even when there are perfectly fine sidewalks. (GMaps directions show 4.2 miles from my hotel to the train station that is actually 2 blocks away in Delray Beach, Florida)



I use Google Maps for biking around the city, if I'm going somewhere unfamiliar. It often seems to take non-optimal paths that presumably many hundreds of peoples worth of data should have told it could be improved. But it does eventually get you where you're going at least.
