I am in awe at the ambition. It seems to work not too badly, either, despite only being in beta.

My word. This is fabulously amazing. As a loyal non-driver, this is a godsend. I hope they sharpen up the data so its deadly accurate all over the place, but this looks sooo cool.

Nothing as yet which allows me to get from Penzance to Oban.

It reckons there'd be low traffic on a Friday night around Birmingham. Oh dear.

(and it takes 14 and a half hours to get from Maryhill to Norbiton by public transport)

except you'd actually skip the A406 and get straight on the M1 from the A1

ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

you can't pick RENFREW as a location :((((

I'm not so impressed with the car journey stuff, cause the AA have offered that on their website for years. It's more the public transport bit.
