Google Maps And A Tardis!

Since arriving in Michigan I’ve been relying on Google Maps – I hadn’t planned on travelling through Michigan so didn’t have maps – and Google Maps is mostly working really well – on bicycle mode it’s sending me on mostly quiet roads and is picking up the major bike trails as well – only once has it tried to take me down a “No Bicycle” road – can I sue for being directed onto a dangerous road??

So Google Maps is doing well and taken me through Michigan, Ohio and now I’m in Pennsylvania – it’s doing well as long as I don’t press the wrong button and scrub the route, which I did today in an area that I couldn’t get internet to reset it – so at the next T-junction I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right and I didnt – however glad I made my mistake and didn’t have to adjust my route by much and saw a Tardis!

At this point I’d picked a nice long quiet road – a few houses along it and one with a Tardis in the front garden. Mike Lawson was home and he and his grandson are huge fans of Dr Who – as well as the Tardis in his garden he has built a few mini ones and there are plans to build a K9 and a Dalek and possibly have a mini open air cinema in the garden to show Dr Who – I think he should. It was great to stop and relax and chat with Mike.
