** FAQ **

- How do we calculate average time?
- It is an hypothetical calculation based on average speed values we have chosen. Airplane is ~800km/h (~500mi/h), car is ~100km/h (~60mi/h), bicycle is ~18km/h (~11mi/h), walk is ~4.8km/h (~3mi/h). We do not calculate stops.

- How do we calculate distance?
- Calculating the "As the Crow Flies" distance, using Great Circle formula. Considering the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere measured along a path on the surface of the sphere. We do not contemplate streets, this is not a navigation system.

Be very careful: only iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs and iPad have the magnetometer (compass).
So if you dont have one of these devices, you must find yourself the North direction.
