About Transportation Modes

Routing and navigation are calculated differently based on your transportation mode.

For example, in Automobile mode, the estimated time of arrival is calculated using the speed limit of the roads on the route. Pedestrian mode calculates time of arrival based on walking speed.

Automobile—calculates routes that follow vehicle traffic regulations.

Pedestrian—calculates routes that follow pedestrian regulations. Pedestrian routes do not include highways.
