>>Specifically non car driving directions

I would never use anything other than driving directions

I only walk to and from my car, and i do not own a bike, and if a business does not have parking less than 300ft from the door I am going to a different business

Google generally is poor for hiking trails etc. Use Open Street Maps in that case. (Which isn't perfect but is at least better given there's no money for Google in better hiking trail maps.)

Not dissing on you by any means, it’s just crazy to me how different this is than London. My train station in Surrey is a good 1.3km walk from my home, but all of my neighbors do the exact same thing.

Having lived both ways: I was healthier when I walked, but I'm happier not doing so.
