Sword, Sometimes the directions are good, sometimes bad. I almost died laughing yesterday when I asked it to direct me to the nearest starbucks.  According the the directions, it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Granted, it managed to get me there in only 5 miles. The kicker, our local starbucks is a really direct route of less than half a mile. I walk when it isn't too hot. I really should have taken a picture of it.

Talk about overloading it with data. . . there were probably too may to choose from! I once was in an area in San Francisco where Maps showed about twenty Starbucks within six blocks. . . and there were! There were four where I could see them when I walked outside, one literally on each corner. . . or close to the corners. No one had to cross a street for a Grande Latté. LOL
