Could anyone recommend an Android app [THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY USING] to measure distance?

When you use a cart on an exec course, how much walking are you doing going to and from the cart? Do you think it's about half as much as walking the entire course?

I don't own a golf cart. Is there an odometer on a golf cart that measures the distance traveled to the tenth of a mile while playing? I think adding 20% would account for the ball going left and right.

If I look up a course on google maps, is there anyway of measuring how long of a walk it is point to point as the crow flies? That may be a clever way to estimate the distance walked.

If I can figure out the distance walked, or a good method found for measuring I will share it.
My Garmin G6 says 1.75 to 2.1 miles for most executive courses
