Which transfer should you choose?

Both our routing engines returned 59.79 kilometres, agreeing to the metre, which is rare and happens when there is one obvious road. They differ by ten minutes on the time, 47 against 57, and that is the expressway against the older coast road it replaced. An earlier measurement of 71 km was to a different Agios Nikolaos: there is a village of the same name in western Crete.
