Which is why I usually get Google maps to give me a route, check it in  
my printed road atlas, and then use my car GPS' to remind me roughly  
when the turns are coming up.


Last night a friend sent me a Google Maps link which included an area  
I had surveyed for road names/POIs a few days ago. In a roughly 600m x  
500m section of the suburb, I can see two non-existent roads, 9 roads  
that join up when they don't, 4 roads that go across 2m streams when  
they don't, one road that is basically someone's driveway, and a whole  
bunch minor things. Not bad for 0.3 sq km.
