- directions on the individual property's website (typically under the Local Area menu)
- the Bing "aerial view" or "bird's eye" tab
- Google Maps satellite view or street view
- your phone to call the front desk

I agree in principle, but for someone trying to get 25 SPG stays by the end of the year for legacy SPG Plat > newPlat or especially for someone needing an additional Plat (or Gold) year to qualify for lifetime status under this year's rules (LTPP or legacy LTP/LTG before the new combined program requires additional nights), having additional albeit less convenient options can be valuable.
Instead of quibbling, though, let me suggest that for any such additions,
- they be marked conspicuously—say, with an asterisk—to indicate their secondary/more challenging/etc. character, and
- there be some objective criteria (e.g., total travel distance < X meters & no more than one shuttle/transit transfer) listed at the top of the wiki with a key (asterisk, etc.) to identifying the relevant entries.
