When opened, the map fetches OpenStreetMap tiles for the visible area. Distances are straight-line estimates to reference points, not driving distances, track lengths or verified entrances. Town references are approximate locality centres, not your position. Not a navigation tool. 1275 of 1589 trails have source-checked reference points.
