The reason for these (very annoying) innacuracies is that the address records are traceable to the property deeds, with latitudes and longitudes having neen recorded long before the advant of GPS.

If I knew which way to go I wouldn't need directions...how do you merge at a T shaped intersection. GM says turn on ... street toward Jupiter st. Again if I knew which direction Jupiter st. was I would be familiar enough with the area to know where I was going. I had to stop twice to ask for directions, told them both I was following GM and they both laughed... last time for me GM. Sucker me once shame on you... but twice!
