TTN Hop 2
We have traveled most of this route before. Taking US 301 from Ocala to Jacksonville cuts off many miles from the I-75/I-10 route. It is a bit slower, perhaps, but not bad. And more interesting, I think.
We did have two more arguments between Google maps and the GPS. First, the GPS told us to take FL 228 from I-75 to I-295, cutting out the entire 13 mile segment on I-10. We chose to ignore it. Afterward I looked at that route on Google maps and it considered the route to be 4 minutes slower, but 2 miles shorter. As the GPS was set to pick the fastest route I can’t see why it would think that route was faster.
Then, as we approached our destination in Richmond Hill GA, the GPS told us to take US 84 to US 17 north. Google maps was saying we should take I-95 all the way up to the intersection with US 17, then go south to get to our destination. This time we opted for the GPS and it cost us 2 miles. But we avoided an ugly turn across US 17 traffic, so I am happy with that tradeoff.
Google 1, GPS 1.
Our home for 4 nights is the Savannah South KOA in Richmond Hill GA. I will give a full review later, but our initial reaction is very positive – a beautiful park and a great site.
Or maybe we are just glad to not be surrounded by derelict RVs.
