Good day Sunshine:I wonder if both GPS systems are calculating in the same way? In determining the distance between two points, there may be a difference between traffic and walking.
I believe both Google and Seeing Eye GPS have virtual route features though I'll have to double check on that one. Seems to me I did use Google maps to explore an entire route from home.

We were trying to figure out the mileage between my house and The American Red Cross. The GPS app says 4.1 miles, but with Google, as determined by paratransit, gives an indication that I am 5.7 miles from The American Red Cross. That's quite a difference. Here, any trip under 6 miles is $3.00 and any above, an extra 50 cents. So it looks like the mileage is not accurate.

I'm sorry, but for almost real time updated map info google maps will be your best way to go verses tom tom and map quest. brandonTo change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htm Additionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.Sunshine and Ivanna, my cute little labradorable, the mischief maker in a group of dogs Google Talk: Halogirl817 "Tell me and I forget teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn."To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htm Additionally, to unsubscribe send an email to gps-talkusers-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" in the Subject.
