Possibly another case for those who will not - or cannot (?) - include
hard copy map-reading education in their lives? That is to say, as a
'back-up' (at the very least) to electronic forms of way-finding. At
least it wasn't a road-bound lorry or passenger coach trying to reverse
down a public bridle way; otherwise the motorist may well have bridled
at being led up the garden path . . . (No more puns today).
An extract from end of link provided by Joel Kovarsky:-
"The court papers didn't explain why Rosenberg walked along state Route
224 instead of choosing streets with sidewalks. On its version for
computers, Google Maps suggests one alternative for Rosenberg's route.
It also highlights a disclaimer: "Use caution - This route may be
missing sidewalks or pedestrian paths." The mobile version of Google
Maps, however, does not come with that warning."
