90% 20 miles 377 seconds...

The first ones were the hardest...I knew the general area, but didn't know exactly...so I was off by hundreds of miles...

After I had a few in place, I had boarders that I could reference.

Fewer provinces, true, but you'd probably still be surprised at how many people don't even know or recognize the names much less could say where they went. We were adding some mapping functionality to one of our products and it was to support Canada as well as the U.S. Not only did one of the developers spell Manitoba wrong (and forgot to add Alberta completely), but when mentioning it to them, a different developer said "what's a Manitoba?" :roll:

As for the jab, it's expected... after all she's only a Yank. :D
