Hi out there, on my push bike, I have a Garmin Geko 201 mounted on, which is a wonderful device. Since it does not have street data on it, I am navigating with compass directions. The remaining distance the unit returns to reach the desired waypoint is of course like the crow flies. However, as a cyclist, I stick to the roads.
Does anybody have experiences which the common ration between the straight distance and the road distance is? Sure, you are right if you say: depends on the road network! However, for the region I am living in ( 7�13'13"E 51�29'18"N ), I experienced a more or less constant factor around 1.45 . To make it sound more scientific, I ll simply call it square route(2). Does anybody have values for other regions?
