Default Thank you, MapQuest

I've heard of you sending some motorists on wild goose chases, but I never thought it would be me:

On my way to MI, MapQuest says to get off exit 218 for I-76 West to get there and then to intersect with the I-80 west for Toledo, OH. Imagine my surprise when I-76 westbound becomes some rural road in middle-of-fucking-nowhere Ohio (1.5 hours after exiting previous highway). Luckily, my Razr has GPS so I used that to get myself back to civilization and on the right highway. Of course, my phone is nearly dead after using it most of the way to Lee's...

Never again w/ MapQuest.

Always look at the map too before leaving to somewhere unfamiliar.


edit: yahoo and mapquest got me lost. Google has yet to fail me, but I use my laptop for GPS now

In Los Angeles, when you're going East Bound on the 10, you hit the La Cienega exit. There's a Y in the exit. One for North, and one for South. Mapquest mixed them up. If you didn't know, and followed what they wrote, you'd be in two completely parts of town. :hs:

I love when I tell people who are heading in my direction from I-78 to take exit 19 and make a left/right (depending which direction they're coming from) and they see the exit for Pottsville and take that...when Pottsville is 60 miles north of Pottstown.
