Yeah, I've always wondered how accurate it is, and what source they use for basis. The readout has almost no reference markings, which make the whole thing a crapshoot.
I'd like to find a mapping tool that takes vertical elevation into account when computing mileage. I have 4 pretty decent hills on my every-day commute, and I'm sure that they add a significant amount. (Sure I could figure it out myself...but I've lost my protractor.
