Don't Trust Google Maps For Directions in Utah

Posted on October 31, 2007 by Joseph Scott

That’s it, I’ve been burned by Google Maps for directions in Utah one too many times. I’m not sure what the deal is but Google will often be no where near the correct spot when looking up locations around here. And I don’t mean by a few blocks here or there, I mean several miles. Oddly enough though Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest were able to get it right, at least in the few test addresses that I tried.

So if you happen to be in or traveling through Utah and are tempted to look up an address or directions using Google Maps, remember that it might be plus or minus seven miles

A few weeks ago I took some pictures of the mountains in the evening looking to the east from the playground at Alice’s school:

Of course that was before it started snowing.

Here’s the 5 minute version of the 2 hour special, but I’m warning you, this was worse that Jar Jar in the Phantom Menace:
