Quickest way / easiest way

Hello.

What is the difference between "the quickest way" and "the easiest way."

For example, "what is the quickest/easiest way to get the stadium?"

Thank you.

I suppose the usage could often be synonymous, but the difference should be obvious: the 'quickest way' takes the least time, while the 'easiest way' is that requiring the simplest navigation. These are not at all necessarily the same.
