He tells the dispatcher that he was following him. It’s still up in the air whether or not he stopped when she said he didn’t need to be doing that. Keep in mind the distances we’re talking about can be covered in seconds.

seconds?

The short sidewalk is approximately 200 feet long. Zimmerman’s car is approximately 50 feet from that sidewalk. So Zimmerman covered 250 feet in during the portion of the conversation from when he got out of the car (C on your map) till he ended his cellphone conversation (E, same map).

At a brisk march (nominal) it take ~300 steps (at a 30 inch step) to travel that distance. Using the military rate of 120 steps per minute that’s about two and a half minutes.

I think I’ve got to quibble about the word “seconds” in your comment.
