Google Maps on the computer came up with a much better option:
Hmm ... 25 miles in 26 minutes, or 6 miles in 13 minutes ... :-)
I love my iPhone and the Google Maps app, but you can't trust technology too much.

iPhone Google Maps glitch
Tried to plan my trip to a nearby office this morning using Google Maps. This was the result.

LOL...That's strange. I got same result on my iphone as your google map (the 6 mile in 13 min route). I couldn't find any setting (avoid local road), perhaps it's stored somewhere? Any ideas?
No idea Paul. I think it's just one of those quirks. Mapping software is prone to that. Yesterday it gave me sensible but slow directions to New Baltimore (9W instead of Thruway) ... But as with today I just knew better.
You may have had it on the "walking" directions.
I hope Anonymous was kidding. It would be even worse for walking directions, and the screenshot clearly shows it was driving directions.
The screenshot for the COMPUTER clearly shows driving directions..
The screenshot for the iPhone clearly shows it's driving directions. There's three icons at the top - one for car, one for transit, and one for pedestrian. The car icon is darkened. It's driving directions.
