Google Maps Walking Directions + Walking Speed

I noticed Google Maps has a good map of the MK so I mapped some cross-park treks and it did a good job of showing the best path. Has anyone tried this in the park? Seems like it would work really well to get from place to place efficiently.

Also, I compared Google Maps walking time to Touring Plans walking time on some cross-park hikes. TP average speed is similar but slightly take slightly longer than what Google says - allowing for crowds maybe?

I’m using Very Relaxed speed in my plan to help allow some time for distractions like shopping. Overall very relaxed walking speed doubles the total amount of time I’m walking for the day but the total amount of time in line for the whole day only goes up by 10 minutes. Interesting!
