OT, how come no directions to Cool Springs, Tennessee?

Google maps will always, until now, allow one to find what it considers
the best route (in practice, always 3 routes), but tonight using Opera
when I looked up Cool Springs TN, all it did was give a list of tourist
sites.

So I in another tab I looked up Hays City, or Hays, Kansas, and it had a
clickable word "Directions", like always. So in that tab I went to Cool
Springs, but still no directions.

So I went to Firefox and already had a tab open to Cool Springs, so I
entered Hays KS and there was "Directions", then I entered Cool Springs
TN and again, no directions. Don't they want people to go to or from
Cool Springs. If that's it, how will I ever get my package?

This is because Cool Springs is not an actual city or town.

I think you're right. Still it seems a little arbitrary to limit this
to towns. They know where it is and people might want to go there.

Your article says it has 200 restaurants. Maybe the google space is
used up by paid listings of stores and restaurants.


FWIW, "Toyota of Cool Springs" has a Franklin TN address.

Next time, try entering the name of the business in Google Maps. When
I entered, "Cool Springs Toyota", it went directly to the dealership
location in Franklin, as a starting location for directions.
