What happened to Google Maps? I was looking for the distance to Indianapolis and...

it showed 784 miles, OK, but 283 hours to drive it! The directions would keep me off the interstates and send off on side roads.

Maybe I missed a setting, but the whole look of the thing changed.

Maybe they are getting on Rt 66 near DC or 95 S near Fredericksburg. That could take 283 hours. FSogol May 2018 #4

The states paid Google to reroute you along their interstate highways so you will have to pass all of the tourist traps and signs on the highways!!!

Ha ha...283 hours to drive 784 miles...this is a good one!
