I made a trip last weekend. Google Maps gave me directions that saved about four miles over Mapquest, which in turn saved about a mile over the directions I was given by the person who lived there.
Google Maps sucked. Their directions would have taken me to a road with a locked "emergency-only" access gate. Mapquest was slightly better, though their directions involved a bunch of turns over the human-generated directions.
"How do I get there" is still a useful question to ask.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
On the other hand, Google Maps does give accurate directions from Darwin,CA to Panamint Springs, CA. My Garmin GPS would send me right off a waterfall(!!!).
