why are distances on plotaroute different than google maps?FORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Hey all, I started using plotaroute to calculate distances for running routes, and I've found that there is a mile difference between googlemaps and plotaroute. What could account for this discrepancy? 

Thanks  for any insight you might have.

Can you share examples?

Apologies for the delayed response, I went through the Plotaroute route with a fine tooth comb, and it looks like when the "on foot" option is selected it was having me triple traverse a few blocks... down, back, and back down.  Zoomed out, it was not noticeable.  The overlap traced the same line, but the mileage jumped up by a mile in 3 blocks. 

Problem solved!
