bjarvisI was going to visit an insurance broker today to see if I could get a better deal on our home insurance and car insurance.
Checking with Google Maps, the office was situated at Veirs Mill Road and Twinbrook Parkway, on the border between Rockville and Wheaton, MD.
Um, no.
Upon driving there and checking the local house addresses, then working my way south-east, I eventually found the broker's office several miles away at Veirs Mill Road and Georgia Avenue.
While MapQuest has routinely tried to send me the wrong way up one-way streets, through median strips, across non-existent bridges and more, this is the first time Google Maps misdirected me so badly. Harrumph.
And the broker's office was closed anyway. Double harrumph.
