Street Atlas USA Sucks!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Trying to deliver a truckload of excess Girl Scout Cookies to a
charity drop... Street Atlas USA showed the street in the completely
WRONG location.

This is not the first time in a long shot that this has happened.

Street Atlas USA Sucks! Is pure crap!

Must use leftist weenie programmers ;-)

You tell 'em Jim...

Actually Street Atlas (and most of the other mapping systems) buy
their cartographic data from third parties. Not the programmer's
fault, but some intern in the map digitizing department who clicked in
the wrong place! g

What I like are the streets that are one way... And the program
proceeds to tell you to go the *wrong* way to get ot your destination!
...and streets designated as one way but *NEVER* have been that and
never will be that!
Those non-shown bridges that had existed since the 1800s in some
cases and at worst since the 1930s is pure crap.
Makes no difference where the data came from; refusing to show
bridges is worse than incompetence.
Maybe their maps are from FlatEarthers Inc.
