Still more accurate than bing maps
I gotta say, Google Maps has been getting squirrelly on me lately tho.
Most recently, I was out fishing and wanted to get directions to the other side of the lake and a parking area over there.
The road directions had me driving a little ways up the shore, then down a fucking footpath to the water, then swimming across the fucking lake, then getting on another road and driving to the parking area.
Relevant xkcd.
Oh my god, there's always a relevant xkcd.
Great job!
There's also always an ExplainXKCD: https://explainxkcd.com/461/
Go back to MapQuest, let us know how it goes.
Put a grid in the middle, then this is accurate for 80% of American cities.
