When we first moved to Tracy, my wife had an appointment at 11555 W. Linne Rd. Google Maps sent her to Vernalis.
DuckDuckGo is limited also in results index. I think you need to use a combination of a few search engine to get the most results .I use Garmin, and also paper maps or directions from the person I need to get to.
Google is all crap, including the search engine which severely limits the information it allows.
I use Firefox, Duckduckgo, garmin, and have no problems.
I would even say Waze is better for everyone - I changed from Google Maps to Waze several years ago, and never looked back.Some say Waze is much better for folks like you that drive for a living.
A while back, I used my Garmin to drop my son off at a birthday party a few towns away in an area I wasn't familiar with. Coming home, when I got out of the neighborhood and to the divided highway which I am familiar with, the devise instructed me to turn left onto Rt 23 South. However, being divided, the south bound side was on the other side of the tree-lined median. If I had made that left due to unfamiliarity, I would have headed south in the north bound lanes and likely a very, very serious accident.I have an old Garmin and it sent me through a mall roundabout to avoid a congested intersection ahead once. Another time it told me to turn the wrong way onto a one way street. I think the street had just been changed to that as it was all under construction.
Indiana has some goofy T intersections were 2 lanes meet 4 lanes. If you want to go left you have to turn right and make a near 300 degree turn into the left lane of the 4 lane. First time I took one I though it was sending me headlong into approaching traffic.A while back, I used my Garmin to drop my son off at a birthday party a few towns away in an area I wasn't familiar with.

Yup. Exact same scenario. And, it's easy to get lulled into just doing what the GPS is telling you to do and not really paying attention to the actual surroundings and street signs.Indiana has some goofy T intersections were 2 lanes meet 4 lanes.
