Google Maps Is A Bit Silly.

1. Head north from N Tioga St – go 0.1 mi
2. Turn left at E Buffalo St – go 0.1 mi
3. Continue on W Buffalo St – go 0.8 mi
4. Continue on Cliff St – go 1.0 mi
5. Continue on Trumansburg Rd – go 4.8 mi
6. Continue on RT-96 – go 3.9 mi
7. Continue on E Main St – go 0.9 mi
8. Bear left at W Main St – go 14 mi

9. Turn right at RT-414/RT-96 – go 23 mi

10. Take the RT-14 N ramp – go 0.3 mi
11. Bear right at RT-14 – go 0.2 mi
12. Turn left into the I-90 entry ramp – go 0.8 mi
13. Merge into I-90 W – go 20 mi

14. Take the RT-332 exit 44 to Canandaigua/Victor – go 0.5 mi
15. Continue on RT-332 – go 0.3 mi
16. Bear right at RT-332 S – go 1.2 mi
17. Turn right at RT-96 – go 3.4 mi

Does it really need to distinguish between I-90′s on-ramp and I-90? Will I somehow miss the merging if Google does not spell it out for me?

Now I like to play it safe. That’s why I looked up some directions before just setting off. But this is a bit ridiculous.

The occasion for my trip to the fine town of Victor, NY? Well, it’s a bit embarrassing.. I popped off my “o” key, and sorta broke it. I might be able to smash it on there, but.. I did break it, and ought to just go get it fixed.

Especially since I’m still under warranty. (Thank you Apple 1-year warranty!)

I feel so stupid. But oh well. I’m sure the drive will be a nice way to spend a Wednesday. Hell, it’s 75 miles. There is an Apple store in Syracuse, which is nearly twenty miles closer, but the drive to Victor looks nicer. I’ll be driving right up inbetween Lakes Cayuga and Seneca. Will bring a camera or two, have lunch on the way.

I can only hope that the guys at the store will be able to slap a new button on, so I won’t be without the PowerBook (or have to drive back up to Victor again). Please.

And no laughing at my stupidity. :neutral:
