Im just wondering on just how accurate google map is...it lists a trip at 32.5km and if i take the exact route with no detours my odometer calculates it at 32.8 km. My car is a 2006 so im aware of the lawsuit against bad odometer readings, but the suit indicated increases from 2.5 to 4 percent and honda.//acura gave 5% out of customer satisfaction. Now, in my case...the extra .3 km comes to 0.9%

Just how accurate is the google maps distances?

I contacted the original owner of the car and he never received any letter saying his car was affected by the lawsuit...and i called customer service for honfda and acura and both said there was no issue for my vin number. The lawsuit states ALL cars from 2000-2009 and then it says 900 000 units are affected...im so confused.

Is my car counting KM to quickly??

Anybody have experience with google maps distance and your actual recorded miles? given that you use the same route google maps uses..
