Even on routes I walk regularly, I find myself arriving far too early. In an effort to improve my estimation I looked up walking directions for a local route and noticed something odd. Multiple maps suggested a walking route that took me through a private estate and a locked gate. The route would be ideal, if only the directions included the pin code for the gate lock. The directions were wrong.</p>
