What Google Maps has done to me, personally, over the years:
1) Sent me back across the San Mateo bridge unnecessarily while driving to a date.
2) Sent me to a different building on the opposite side of the highway, 1.4 miles away, while driving to a job interview.
3) Sent me to a different building on a different block while walking to a job interview.

That's at least a hit of 30 min (if you have to go to cross the bridge and come back). If this happened during commute hours, this could be a 1.5 hour delay! EDIT: I guess it happens a lot to people unfamiliar with the area going to Foster City via 92 east. If you miss the last exit, you have to take a 14 mile U turn!

I was already down to my last dollar(s) so I had a bit a of a "Charlie on the MTA" moment wondering if I was going to end up stuck on the wrong side of the bridge without enough money to leave the island it led to.
