What we could not verify
- Times are typical, not live. Google Maps gives a typical drive time for the fastest route; traffic, weather and construction change it. We read each once on 2026-10-17.
- The starting point is the map’s city point, not your address, so short trips (a few minutes) are only rough.
- Fort Sumter: the row is the drive to the Liberty Square ferry terminal; the fort itself is reachable only by boat.
- Map data: the table is our compilation under CC BY 4.0. The map directions each row links to remain Google’s; we publish the numbers we read and cite the page, not Google’s maps.
