Very interesting. I have done some research on 4 online map services as well as my TomTom GPS unit. Here are the results:
Mapquest: 13 hours 54 mins / 819.85 miles
Yahoo Maps: 13 hours 43 mins / 834.71 miles
Google Maps: 14 hours 26 mins / 814 miles
AAA TripTik: 12 hours 38 mins / 821 miles
TomTom: 14 hours 46 mins / 820 miles
If past experience is any indication, I would have to say that AAA is usually the closest estimate. TomTom is almost always way high and so is Google. I believe most of the routes are very much the same so obviously the formula used to figure time/distance must be a little different on each service.
Jim told me tonight that Melody may not be able to make the trip due to illness. If she wasn't sick when we left I'm sure she would be sick of hearing Jim and I talk about cars and such on the trip, so it's probably for the best. I love you Melody and hope you feel better soon!
Hope to blog a bit about the trip up at the hotel where we spend the night. Should be a fun trip!
