With the new satalite feature on google i decided to see how far i travel in real city vs maps. Its amazing actually.

That's pretty cool actually. I like how it gives the bubble and zooms in on your destination or your beginning address. I live right by campus, so not very interesting.

[Captain Obvious]

Without giving up my acutal address:about a mile

[Athens]

i couldnt care about my address cuz i have my real name all over the internet and with that any one could just look up my address since im not unlisted.

[turtle777]

I hope you don't drive to work then.

Not sure about distance but 5 stops on the subway, about 20 minutes away (same if it's raining and I'm running late and I have to take a taxi).

[macroy]

About 18 miles to my office. But I currently work on site at the client, which only 7 miles - but more importantly, no need to get onto the beltway.

[effgee]

20ft + 14 stairs + 15ft ... and no, I don't drive to work.

[jasonsRX7]

3.3 miles according to Streets and Trips, Google maps can't find my work address.

[Gankdawg]

About 36 miles which is about 35 minutes. Google can't find either my home address or my work address.

[Mithras]

Not too far:

[sideus]

38 miles one way.

[dav]

"Distance: 12 mi (about 15 mins)"

more like 35 mins in morning traffic. friday evenings, up to an hour.

[Cipher13]

No idea. I'll take my GPS with me and trip it one day.

[videian28]

44 miles =/ one way

[ghporter]

Work? What is this "work" you speak of?

Before I retired, I drove about 10-13 miles one way every day. It depended on which building they had me at.

My longest commute was from South Austin to North Austin (without using I-35) which was about 30 miles each way.

My shortest commute? When I was assigned to Honduras the latrine was about 50 feet farther away than my office! I walked about 150 feet to get to work; the chow hall was much farther away, and in the opposite direction. Life was hard then...

[JHromadka]

11 miles/15 min according to Google. Reality is closer to 20 min in the morning and 40 in the evening.

Well, in Berlin, no prob. I'd be crazy using the car in rushhour traffic.

In Newport News, my only other options are walking or riding a bike.
Both not really an option. I just can't show up at work in a suit, all wet and sweaty...

[grayware]

0. I work from our beautiful log home. I hope I never have to go back to an office setting.

[theJoKell]

This weekend? 180-ish on Friday and 16 on Saturday. Next week is all over the place too.

Ah life on the road.

[smithken31100]

1.9 miles and yes I drive. There is no such thing as public transportation in this area. It's dark when I go into work and I'm not about to walk and ride a bike in the dark. After work I usually don't go home, it's not unusual for the trip home to be 10-15 miles.

[nredman]

about a mile - no pictures for me though

[SimpleLife]

30 minutes walk.

That google thingie does not work for me.

[Lateralus]

Three miles, approximately.

[TailsToo]

At one time, it was 68 miles each way, but now in my new job, it's just 4.

[malvolio]

Currently - 0 (semi-retired, work-at-home)
Previous job - 24.8 miles each way
Job before that - 1.7 miles each way
Job before that - 1.4 miles each way

Since the commute was getting longer and longer, I gave up working.

[kellybelly]

Approx. 29 miles (41 minutes)

[LeftWingLock]

Google says 32 miles/35 minutes. My car odometer and my watch say 36 miles/45 minutes.

[MacMan4000]

2.6 mi / 4 minutes. (thats with no traffic at all... or bobbing and weaving through traffic like I do when i'm running late for school. )
With normal traffic its more like 10 minutes. Still pretty close though.



EDIT: I changed the pic a little bit. I realized the route Google chose is not the route I use. I take the short-cut highlighted in red. Its the same distance, but the road in red is always empty so you can go about 50 (except in that major turn... I learned that the hard way) and it saves a lot of time. The roads google chose are all 25 zones.

[rjenkinson]

-r.

[Joshua]

0.5 miles to work. It's about 1.5 miles to class.

[spiky_dog]

0.3 miles from my apartment to the health sciences complex. i usually ride my bike to shave off those few precious seconds and because it's more fun than walking.

[mitchell_pgh]

9+ Miles (address altered to maintain some personal info)

And it NEVER takes 15 minutes. At BEST, it's 30 minutes, during peak traffic, try an hour.

[RGB]

.3, maybe .4 miles from my apartment to my school's newspaper i work at. No high-res satellite imagery available, unfortunately.

[Zimphire]

Takes 10 minutes or so to get there. Not that far.

[wdlove]

It takes me forty five minutes by an MBTA Bus.

[DeathMan]

5 miles. It takes me between 15 and 20 minutes to ride my bicycle. If my wife drives me it takes 10 - 12 minutes. Add to that getting the kids in the car, its usually quicker just to ride.

[nate_02]

takes about 10 minutes if the lights are not in my favor, about 7 if they are.

[ThinkInsane]

For my job, it's exactly (from my home to the parking lot at work) a 40 mile drive each way. I don't need google maps to tell me that, I've been doing it for 5 years. For my business, it's a matter of walking down two flights of stairs. It's the preferable commute.

[sanity assassin]

40 miles (Glasgow to Edinburgh).
