Figuring Mileages

[BillyandKris]

OK Guys, dumb question. When I am planning our travels I search for “XXXXXtown, State to XXXcity, State” to get how far between destinations and of course it takes me to Google maps which is most helpful. Problem is sometimes the route and mileage they give doesn’t match up with when we are actually out there and using our Garmin RV GPS (which is awesome). Is there a free website of maps that would match up better with what our Garmin RV GPS tells us to do (which is of course the route we are going to use)? I do all this planning on a computer and not on my phone so I’m not sure if I would be interested in an app. Would prefer some free mapping website. Is there such a thing or how do ya’ll do it? (BTW I’m NOT new at this-just never stopped to try to figure out a better way).

I use the google map millage and ajust the speed for less. So if its a 70 mph zone, im only going 65. So i divide the miles by 65 or 60 and then as above add an hour for stops, depending on fuel and how far im going. Unfortunately, millage, fuel, stops and traffic all add time. The miles for both maps should be similer. The times may be different.

I do my travel planning on the computer as well, I use distance tracker at

Its pretty close but I add an hour at least for rest stops and gas etc. Its free. I also use google maps and AAA trip tik maker. Half the fun is the planning 🙂
