From Vaasa to Helsinki (both in Finland) via Sweden?
by January 29, 2005 12:11 AM PST: Same results with a trip from Vaasa, Finland to Helsinki, Finland using MapPoint. According to MapPoint, the trip should take 19 hours and 48 minutes with you having to drive almost 1000 kilometers.

Hmmm... that's strange, I though my trip down to Helsinki only took less than 6 hours and that the distance was only 538 km... ;-); Like this Reply to this comment
