This was also in my local newspaper today....

I actually live in Haugesund, Norway.....

You can also try to change the end address to HAUKELIGREND and see what happens.

I don`t think I will be using this route planner for my Norwegian journeys.

How did you come across this?

A bit strange seeing Haugesund on a UK BB

That is a bit poor really: 1685.9 Miles. That's the limited mileage almost used up in one journey then

But the return journey is only 476.1 miles. Bloody americans!!!
