You can switch to other modes by tapping the motorcycle, train, walk, taxi, cycle, and airplane icons. The default route and estimated journey time by automobile are shown.
You can then use the ‘Your location’ default (measured using the phone’s in-built GPS receiver), or you can type in an alternative origin location. You type in the desired destination and then press the blue-colored ‘Directions’ icon which takes you to another screen where you identify your origin point and your destination point. If you want to estimate the walking time and recommended route between a specific origin and a destination you can use the Google Maps Directions function on your smartphone. However, Google does make some slight adjustments for gradient and will decrease the assumed speed for uphill parts of the route, and increase it for downhill parts of the route.Įxactly how Google makes those adjustments for slope is not 100% clear. No adjustments are made for the distance traveled or whether the route uses roads or footpaths. Google responded by saying that the normal walking speed used to calculate walk journey times is about 3mph miles per hour. In the Google Maps Community Help, you can find a question asking what is the walking speed used in Google Maps, and whether the walking speed is adjusted for slope, type of land being walked on, or distance traveled? What if I Usually Walk Faster Than The Google Average Speed?.Effect of Slope on Google Walking Speed.
