Google Maps - Earth's curvature
I'm sure that this has been covered elsewhere, but if so I'm struggling to find out where.
Does Google Maps account for the Earth's curvature when calculating distances?
I'm aware that they moved the mapping from the Mercator projection in 2016 to the current 'globe' model, so I'm guessing that it now does.
My tacho wasn't working last summer for a longer term, so sadly I don't know how far I travelled on the ground vs. what Google says!
Cheers,
Ed
