The added bonus is that you can calculate your carbon footprint base on the type of transport you are taking by road.

Weather information is also available for that area (users might have to click zoom in on the weather panel to see the weather - this would be even better on the map itself with an option to switch it off.)

Overall straightforward and quick results make this another useful mapping/routing website.
