Those who know the Bay area, will laugh at this:

I go to punch in directions to get from my area (essentially, I-80 via Sacramento) to the San Francisco Civic Center.

Normally, you'd just take I-80 across the Bay bridge to 9th st and head on in there. Simple.

Wanna know where Mapsonus sent me?

Exiting I-80 at CA-37 in Vallejo, going around the North bay, then down across the Golden Gate Bridge and down 101 to the Civic Center.

It also sucks because it only covers the US! It's a pitty I can't use gpsapp the way it's meant to be just because I live in Germany ;-)

That was both their "fastest" route as well as their "shortest" route. Grr.
