London to Manchester takes 7 hours?

[Speedbird52]

Hi a bit of a bug report. For some reason, the GPS shows the drive from London to Manchester as taking 7 hours? I know for a fact that it shouldn't take longer then 3 hours! Is this a bug with the GPS? Or some limitation in coding? Or did I do something wrong?

Is your "for a fact" based on real world time? Because simulation game time is not the same as real world time.

Google maps show 4hours 45minutes, by car "depending on route".
Trucks I believe ain't allowed to drive as fast as cars.
And UK is made in 1:15 scale, or similar, compared to 1:19 or so for mainland Europe.
So that will add extra miles and time too.
If you travel by train, then it can take less than 3 hours.

The difference in scale makes sense! Thanks a lot! The problem with this however is that drives take unrealistically long, and add unnecessary rest stops. Is there a plan to rescale the rest of Europe?

GPS advisor counts approx 60km/h so 600km distance will show 10 hours. Of course, you can drive faster and reach destination much faster than 10 hours.

Rescale? No way. That's too much work for little use.
