randomchef, okay, what I think is going on is: Streets & Trips will tell you when your next stop is in a different time zone; but in the directions, it'll pretend the whole stop is in one time zone, and it won't tell you where the change is. So you can't really trust the time-of-day marks, but the total-trip-time is correct. Also, it doesn't know the confusing thing about Arizona, but you don't have that problem.
- Don't forget to take time zones into account.
- Don't forget to understand how time zones work.
- Don't go to Arizona.
