Hmmm. Tried the route from home to my Bruvs (Barkham in Berks to Indian Queens in Cornwall). Went down the 303 - I avoid it like the plague unless I'm on the bike - and then I still mostly do. And it said the trip would take 5hrs 30 mins. I do 25 miles more in 3 hours ..... :-)

I find the www.viamichelin.com site works very well, even if it's a bit conservative on the average speeds (and therefore estimates journeys as taking longer than they actually do.

Yes, but what route planner ever got it anything like nearly right with britains roads, in terms of time anyway - not feckin autoroute thats for sure.
I have to say I was impressed with that - onece you had zoomed in&out a couple of tiomes it runs very smoothly, and you can pan about with ease.
In fact I'd say thats better than autorote - it shows the one way systems - Autoroute 2002 doesent.
