I took photos of the GPS when I photographed the signs and photoshopped them in later.

618,802 miles away, roughly... or about 3 times further away than the moon.

It took me 3 hours to travel from Pluto to the Sun. How fast was that?

I couldn't remember the numbers.

Yes, road distance rather than straight line distance.Mars, Earth Venus and Mercury are all in the last 5km of travel.
