Maybe according to Garmin...We have driven to Orlando via 441, and also saw that our GPS (both Garmin and Toyota in-car) said it was only a "few" minutes (don't remember the exact difference in times) longer when we started out. It deffinately took longer and both GPSs kept pushing back the arrival time as we progresssed. I don't think they can calculate the time stopped at the MANY traffic lights going that way. Since that time, we have only gone via the Turnpike. It's an easier drive and worth the tolls....and I am still trying to get my head around paying to drive on a road, being from AZ where all the roads are FREE.
