No friggin idea! However the map will probably have a scale on it so use that or find a measured distance on the map and that gives you a scale to use!

From memory its around 85km from Whakamaru so that would make it around 75 km from Mangakino. It used to take me about 50 - 55 minutes on the RE5 from Whakamaru so probably 45 - 50 minutes from Mangakino.

I'd try a different GPS map. That one must take the real long way round.

69ks via Wharepapa South (stop at the cafe there for coffee) according to my map. I ride this road a lot. It is fully sealed and in good condition (at least it was last week). A mixture of fun twisty bits and some longer fast straights. Beware if you are going through during the weekend, Mr Plod has been known to lurk thereabouts :Police:

About 70 kms give or take, all sealed.
I use that road a fair bit. Sometimes heading north I go through the Magawhio gorge and up past Arapuni and hug the western side of the Waikato. Over the dam at Karapiro then Cambridge - Morrinsville - Tahuna - Ohinewai. By that time SH1 is motorway almost all the way to Auckland.
