google maps:unrealistic route planner
by Administrator on Nov.11, 2009, under Uncategorized
this is the type of e-mail i get from customers who beleive in google maps
“4.30 Leave my house (watford) – I presume it will be OK fo me to ride with you
4.45 Arrive Kings Langley , load sofas(electric recliners)
5.00 Depart Kings Langley
5.15 Arrive back at my house – unload sofas
5.30 Leave my house
6.15 Arrive Wendover , load sofas
6.30 Depart Wendover
7.15 Arrive at my other house in watford, unload sofas
7.30 Finish
There’s a bit of slack built in – Google maps says Wendover should take 35 mins each way and I have allowed 45″
three hours,job done.job done,my eye.this could only have been written by an estate agent,or possibly Mr Roastbeef.
