re: People need to learn how to read a map

I do insurance and real estate inspections. I run a Garmin and Google Maps on my phone. Experienced to know that the Police is the last place you want to go for directions. Post Office is useless as hell. Fire Department and City Hall in small towns the most informed. I have the owner's names and phone numbers. I've noticed a recent change in one Alabama County where there will be a street name and CR number as the address, Maps are useless. They are out of date the moment they are printed and I deal with addresses that are added daily. Called one owner ...he laughed ...."The street name is my last name and I made the address up." "Ha Ha, now tell me how to get there."
