You can easily see 100m.  The line on the map represents a route, it is not 
the route itself.  By setting the width to 100m you allow for a person to 
travel anywhere within a 100m wide path and still reach the destination.

OP asked for practical solutions.  Drawing a dozen or so meandering paths from 
point A to point B is not practical.

Best wishes,

Andrew
