Before trying the site I assumed the way they would resolve this is that the distance calculations would be made relative to the point at which you held the map, but what actually happens is that the map is drawn uniformly no matter where you hold it. and of course this is an impossible representation due to the reasons you describe as well as the differences in mappings between a path that is configured to be walked in one direction, but traveled by vehicle in the other.
