A walking path database stores data describing a set of connected walking paths. The walking path database may be generated based on an existing map database describing connected roads. The walking path database and map database are used to generate a combined walking and driving route, where a user walks to a particular pickup location, and a vehicle drives the user from the pickup location to a particular destination. The combined walking and driving route may be a route that minimizes the overall trip time.
