Done with Google Maps

I got sent on my last wild goose chase by Google Maps today. The first time I was going to an address that they had on the complete wrong side of the freeway, so the directions were completely farked. The second time, I was going to somewhere that it had the right physical location for, but the most asinine directions one could imagine.

They’ve got a cool interface and some useful mash-ups, but until they can fix their direction system I’m going to continue using the always-reliable Yahoo Maps direction tool. You’d think with so much CS brainpower at one company they’d find someone whose good with graph algorithms!
