Google Maps is great for its pretty satellite pictures, but for finding you way from one place to another it sucks. Part of my confusion in getting to my customer site in Boston Monday was due to using Google Maps over Mapquest. I’ll never make that mistake again!
This morning I decided to see how to get from Raleigh to Knoxville. One would think that I-40 would be the way to go, but then one would be wrong. Google Maps gives you a scenic, meandering trip through Virginia before heading southwest towards Knoxville.
Attention, Google: the West has long been settled! There’s no need to detour around the Appalachian Mountains. Believe it or not, there are now roads< which go through them. You no longer need pack mules or to go it on foot to go west. Lewis and Clark have done all the dirty work for you, hundreds of years ago.
Only Lewis and Clark did a far better job.
I saw that earlier this week. Crazy!
