However, Cleveland is actually a straight shot to Lancaster on the turnpike, so it makes no sense that it would show up as 363 miles instead of 250 unless the radii are off. That having been said, we also noticed that Lancaster is not in the center of the radius map, which is an epic fail in its own right. A radius map is useless if the center isn't the place that you're wanting to show distances to/from. It is true that some of it is crow vs. roads.
