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.

hello all, I want to weigh in on what mike may said here.  you love foursquare, 
my point here, please get google maps in the next version of this app, like 
we've been asking you to do sense 1.0 and call it a day.  do you know, that we 
got a bypass here in my location, after the bypass opened, with in two days of 
that road opening, google maps starts telling me turn right on to state highway 
9, where your app and some others keep telling me to continue on to 190.  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
