 |
|
Hello,
I noticed yesterday, that when I use the 'navigate to' option, and then bring up the relevant POI category, it shows the POI's within that category, alongside the distances.
But, when I select a POI at 88.0 m away, when the route was created, the actual driving distance was 122 miles!!
Is the distance shown in the POI category the 'direct line' distance??

Yes.
Someone was complaining in another place that TTG had found him a 'nearby' hotel (4 kms away) - and then proceeded to generate a 30km route to it - because it was on the opposite side of Lake Geneva!
