The current issue of Scientific American, 283 (5):20-21, Nov 2000, has an
article: Atlas shrugged, about the reasons directions requests on sites
like MapQuest, etc., are sometimes wrong.

I remember a discussion thread a year or so ago about this, but with no
conclusions drawn about why erroneous directions happen.
