This reminds me of a trip I took about 10 years ago. My wife, the two kids and myself were visiting friends in Indianapolis. We flew out of Oakland and into Chicago Midway airport. I had reserved a car to drive down to Indianapolis. I downloaded the map directions from Yahoo to get from Midway to the freeway going to Indianapolis. It all looked pretty straightforward. A couple of right turns, follow some street down and hit the freeway. Anyway, I showed the directions to the rental car shuttle driver and he warned me that if I went down that street I may not ever make to Indianapolis. It was a pretty bad part of town. The way he showed us to go didn't look very good either, so I can only imagine what the other way may have been like.

I use a Tom Tom now. It's an amazing device.
