R Bug in the Googleway Package

Question

I am using the Googleway package and I don't have any difference between "pessimistic", "optimistic" & best_guess" as well as results are similar when mentioning "driving", "walking" or "cycling" modes. Maybe I am wrong in my code:

google_distance(origins = "place Viarme 44000 nantes",
                             destinations = "rue de strasbourg Nantes",
                             mode="driving",
                             departure_time=heure_dep,
                             traffic_model='best_guess',
                             key = key,
                             simplify = T)
google_distance(origins = "place Viarme 44000 nantes",
                             destinations = "rue de strasbourg Nantes",
                             mode="bicycling",
                             departure_time=heure_dep,
                             traffic_model='best_guess',
                             key = key,
                             simplify = T)

Thanks

This should now be fixed in the latest release version (v2.2.0)

google_distance(origins = "place Viarme 44000 nantes",
                                destinations = "rue de strasbourg Nantes",
