DO NOT TRUST MAPQUEST!!!
my best friend picked up me today at 5AM cuz he had to take his final down in philly. since he had never driven down there before without his parents, he decided to pritn out directions jsut incase... well it turns out, mapquest made up a few street names and we got lost. not only were we lost but alter realized, it took us around teh whole philly just to get to temple. how gay! so anyway, have any of you guys ever had a bad experience with online directions?? |

I thought it was common knowledge to not trust mapquest.
My mother always trusted them and we got lost some place following those directions. Google maps is good from time to time although some times their directions aren't very clear. Anyway, I have a GPS for my laptop. Of course I have no clue where the actual gps thing is, I can still make directions with the microsoft program. It tells me how long it will take and it knows all the construction areas to avoid them. Also shows all the restaurants and that kind of stuff. Pretty nice. |
