Street Atlas USA Sucks!

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Trying to deliver a truckload of excess Girl Scout Cookies to a
charity drop... Street Atlas USA showed the street in the completely
WRONG location.

This is not the first time in a long shot that this has happened.

Street Atlas USA Sucks! Is pure crap!

Must use leftist weenie programmers ;-)

It could be worse. UPS could not find our street. Twice in a row! Upon
calling them they said that an address had been given that didn't exist.
I told them that it exists since the late 60's. After a moment of
silence at the other end I proceeded describing how to get here.

Some times the UPS folks amaze me. I've had them call and tell me that
my address was "bad" even though they had delivered a package to that
same address the day before.

Hell! I've had the post office return to sender marked, "No such
address".

Of course I then wrote a letter to the editor comparing postal
employees to burger flippers ;-)

Then they came to my door and apologized.
