*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 28, 2006 ~

I compared MapQuest and Google from Macedon to the Dog Park.

Overall distance was a 2 mile difference;
MapQuest said you could do it in 6 hours + 50 minutes = average of 58 mph;
Google said to allow 8 hours = average of only 50 mph.

I saw the 2 mile difference and the different routes too but didn't notice the suggested speed limit. That must be where they get the extra hour or so.

Thanks for the tips!

... but didn't notice the suggested speed limit.

The Mapping Sites don't openly suggest or show "suggested speeds" -
those averages are from me dividing the total miles by their estimated times -
gives overall average miles per hour.

The Mappers DO try to calculate the time based upon their understanding of the
allowed speed limit on each small section of the route - dunno how they factor in
things like traffic lights or Stop signs.

For sure MapQuest does NOT figure in any gas or potty stops!

just got back from the dogpark - there's a couple of local pups that want to attend the picnic too. Please add "Baby" and "Max", both are golden retrievers, their mom is Amy (I think some of you met them last year at one of the picnics)

Glad to see so many old friends and newbies (soon to be old friends) are coming!!!

I KNOW!

You guys could make a cardboard cut out of my head and take pictures with "me" while you're there! Then I'll feel like I was really there!

I am really so jealous I want to go!
