Project Blog Post #25: Mapquest
Sponsors needed at Project Blog
You know, sometimes Mapquest can be a great thing, and other times it can really mess you up. Like when someone asked me how far it was from one city to another. Not being familiar with the area, I looked it up on Mapquest. Answer? 21 miles. Ahh, but that's from center to center. From edge to edge it's more like 5 miles.
Right now I'm trying to give directions over the phone to someone driving in from out of town. They want to go to a BART station. If you're going North on the freeway, you exit on Ygnacio Valley Blvd. But of course that exit doesn't exist going south. Harumph. They're working they're way to another station. I'm waiting for the phone to ring.
