I generally follow mapquest directions without qualm, but even I noticed something fishy about the set I downloaded today. It advised taking 95 to 495 to 395 then getting on Wilson Blvd, doing a u-turn in the Pentagon parking lot, etc. etc.
So I devised my own direct route using a map, the folding paper kind. Score one for independent thought. Of course, I was 30 mins late thanks to the traffic jam on the highway I picked, but let's just forget that little matter.
