Isn't that the Monte Carlo Rally navigation method?

[Jim Roper]

Not entirely accurate, is it?

Fine the other way?!

PS. Haugesund as a start point crashes my copy of autoroute as well.

Some of us like the "Scenic Route".

 

A wise man once said, "It is not the arriving at the destination but the journey that is the pleasure.". I'd suggest it was Bill Gates but dont think he qualifies as a wise man by any stretch of the imagination.
