I went to great lengths on Google Maps earlier this evening to plot the route from town to town – about 15 of them – and then get Google to fill in the bits in the middle. It did that and told me that it is only 2,700 kilometres if I go the most direct route from place to place (and keeping off “highways” and toll roads). Then the computer crashed when I started thinking about printing things and getting detailed directions…
My time was lost but I have now plotted the route again and kind of started to figure out how Google Maps actually work. The link is http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=106496744826979790692.000455613cdb9716dfefb …a long one. I’ll put it over there on the right as well. It’s something to play with. 🙂
