SOME streets have EAST and WEST designations. Google messes that up every so often. Why just today, 5/10/2010, Google maps had me drive at least a half hour in the wrong direction. You owe me for the gas waste, Google. [Oh...and this page is pretty screwy too in how it responds when the 'Submit Comment' button has been clicked.] Google needs to set up some kind of online punching bag for when it pisses off users. There are few irritations worse than those you can't get an immediate remedy to. Such is the case with Google Maps. Google would be wise to wake up and redouble its efforts in making Google Maps something that actually serves the public well. I agree that sometimes Google Maps SUCK like a giant vacuum cleaner.

GM says merge onto N. Hwy, I get to N. Hwy to a stop sign I can turn left or right. 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!

I did everything to edit the place mark. Then I discovered I have to authenticate by pin. tried all the possibilities, nothing works. There is no contact options that work. So we are actually fooled. Google placed my business in there with the wrong info and I can't do a damn ting about it. Tanks Google Maps, great Job FF-ing up peoples Business information and not being able to fix or have fixed. My business shows on google maps on the wrong spot.

Do these things even consitute Google Maps sucking? (Also you spelled arial wrong.)
