Why Google Maps Sucks

Be careful when using Google's map service
I printed out directions off Google Maps to last night's Billy Joel concert in Charlottesville, Virginia. They led me an hour off in the other direction.

Read the whole story.

 		gar,

the link to the site works fine.
Maybe he fixed it.

blanko,

sorry you had trouble with getting
directions to that Billy Joel concert.
And yes Google Maps in this case sucked.
And sucked really bad.

But, hey do an image search of Crater Lake in Oregon.
You will be amazed. How about the Washington Monument or the Lincoln Memorial. Hey, how about one with the La Brea Tar Pits. Or even Santa Cruz Beach in Santa Cruz. Or Santa Monica Beach too.
Or how about a Google Map search where I work at. Hitachi and at 5600 Cottle Road and in San Jose.
South San Jose to be specific.

cheers
