For my daily (walking) commuting, it says 2.4km, which is right, for 24k to 33k steps, which is wrong: that's <= 10cm steps. It's one order of magnitude away fr

For my daily (walking) commuting, it says 2.4km, which is right, for 24k to 33k steps, which is wrong: that's <= 10cm steps. It's one order of magnitude away from the truth.

Is it possible you're reading it wrong? I just put in a 2.4km address and it came out to ~2,500 steps.

  Localization issue: var miles = prettyDistance.replace(",","").replace(/[A-Za-z$-]/g, "");

  I don't think I'm reading it wrong. Your link gives me: "The fastest route is 2,4 km, which will take approximately 24,855 to 33,140 steps if you walked it."

    Are those metric steps or imperial?

Had the same issue. Put in a 0,1 km walk, came out to 1k+ steps

It's doing some text parsing on the "pretty text" returned by the Google Maps API instead of using the provided distance in meters, and it's probably failing due to some localisation issue. It strips "," from the text, maybe your locale uses "," as a decimal separator leading to the distance being parsed as 24 km?
