Mapquest vs Expedia

I put an address in and get a 50 mile distance difference!
Which one would you believe?

8: *Toll road* Merge onto I-76 [Pennsylvania Tpke] 80.9 0:48


8. Merge onto I-76 E/PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE E via the ramp- on the left- toward PHILADELPHIA (Portions toll). 50.48 miles

It's even the same step!

I would say since the first one shows 80.9 miles in 48 minutes that it is probably incorrect. Unless you drive really fast.

I use a developer copy of RouteMap, a CD-ROM travel planning app. It has only missed on a couple of locations over the past many months, and both those instances were just by a couple hundred feet.

Customized promotional copies of RouteMap can often be found for free or low cost from many companies, as bulk licensing is dirt cheap.
