Google maps is drunk. I'm at the blue dot & wanted to see how long it would take to walk to the red flag and this is the route it suggested. (thelemmy.club)

That app told me to leave the main road and go on a dirt road

That looks like you have it set for cycling. It defaults to a "Safe" mode which would likely take you on alternate paths that are less travelled by cars. At the bottom you can change the route option to "Road" or "Balanced". If it still wants you to take a dirt road after selecting "Road", then it's a problem with OpenStreetMap.

You can fix those issues by going to openstreetmap.org then zoom in on the area and edit the map. Make sure that the main road exists all the way through and that the dirt road is tagged with highway=track.

Its a fun offroad adventure, scenic route for sure. Just go for it, all gas no brakes! (Watch out for golfers, flying golf balls, sand traps, golf carts, etc)
