Hi


My Pk always comes up with wrong distances from point A to point B, for 
example, when I create a vehicle route to Sheffield which is approximately 221 
miles it tells me It is 187 miles, is it calculating as the crow flies or have 
I somewhere got settings wrong? The example about is just one, but it is in 
both pedestrian, vehicle and other so is at least constant! I find it 
misleading as I walk a lot and will often look at distance before I decide on 
modes of transport, but when calculating how much time I have before a meeting 
I need a more accurate distance to know how long it would take me to walk a 
route, hope that makes sense! I guess if there is no way to change the setting 
I will just have to put up with it and take it as one of it's quirks!


Thanks in advance 
Tony
