I was very surprised by Google becoming aware of some hiking paths, but I sure would have been pissed if I was sent there in a suit and dress shoes... Walk-able covers a lot of different realities.

I was recently walking on Kinder Scout in the Peak District (UK) and was surprised and quite alarmed to find people up there following Google maps. Many of the "paths" are really just public rights of way, which in Great Britain means you have a right of passage, not that it is necessarily easy or possible in all weathers. One of these goes straight across a bog on top of the plateau with no sign of path in sight.

I suspect all of these "paths" are automated additions to their map, but without the proper accompanying information it is quite irresponsible to show these.

OpenStreetMap has the same problem from time to time. People want to add technical hiking/climbing routes but don't mark them very well and they show up without any differentiation from other trails in various OSM based maps.
