I would like to pick up my laptop, but the computer clinic is in a different department 
If both departments are the same colour and your laptop shop is less than 100 clicks away I think you can do that.
I’m off to Nice airport (84.5km) to rescue a car I’ve had stranded there since March 1st.
Interestingly, I read a warning somewhere that the police will be using “as the crow flies” not road milage to assess the 100k radius. Surely the road milage would always be greater than the crow flies?

There will be no restrictions preventing you from travelling into another département. The 100km restriction is as the crow flies. If you stay within your département you are not restricted to 100km, you can go as far as the département boundary.

Great stuff Wozza. I’ve been fiddling with a plastic circumscribing divider from a set of school geometry instruments, a stub of pencil, a tape measure, and a map of Normandie 1/200 000 = 2cm=2km. Ran out of floor space and patience.

I’m waiting for a call to resurrect my dental appointment cancelled at the start of confinement. I’m not keen to go, but I need to.
Interestingly Fleur you will probably find dentists among the most rigorous in their hygiene practices. They’ve needed to be since the days of the AIDs epidemic.
We’ve all got used to seeing our dentists wearing masks and googles for many years.
I had a crown fitted during the lockdown and my dentist just wore his normal mask and that was it, on the second rdv he even greeted me with no mask on at all.
Depends on how much the crow had to drink the night before… 
A radius is a straight line from the centre of a circle to its circumference. Using the circle as your limit, there can be no argy-bargy over what route you might take.

A very irritating aspect of the Google maps measuring line is that you can’t do more than one at a time, from your locus. You can extend the one you’ve drawn. Sometimes I run back through my locus and on out the other side. You are given, at the end of that line, the total distance.
Doing this you could create a cross, N-S-E-W. each 100kms from your locus. The distance shown at the end of the last one you drew would be 700kms.
I’m pretty reassured that you’re right!
Someone posted this on Facebook so it may be complete fiction but, if not, this is terrifying. I shall continue to behave for the foreseeable future as if everyone I come into contact with has the virus. It is the only way to stay safe until we have a vaccine, especially if you have an underlying health condition as I do.
Please stay safe everyone.

Yes Christopher, but my point was that from point A at the centre to point B on the circumference is the shortest route. So if people calculate 100K using road milage they will always be within the circumference. So… I couldn’t figure out why the statement about the crow flying was a “warning”. It should have been “don’t worry”. 
Was it a warning… ah that would explain why folk are being told to carry proof of Residence Address in the car… so they can prove they are still within the 100km as the crow flies…
The chart’s from Wiki Irene and it seems to be accurate. Extreme caution is required alright.

No Stella, it wasn’t that sensible. It was a “warning” on how the police would assess the your distance from home. I’ve used one of the tools from another thread and printed it off to keep in the car to avoid any debate. But then I’m probably paranoid.
How long ago was that Tim

Chatting to local Gendarme yesterday he said they’ll just check distance on their phones from your address on ID.
