I remember Google Maps messing up badly, but that was just Maps being stupid.

Embankment was closed just west of Charing Cross. Seeing that there was not much traffic on a major thoroughfare, Google Maps was trying to send all the traffic down Embankment ...

I was wondering whether to trust Google Maps or not, and wish I hadn't - once committed, it took me well over half an hour to extricate myself just to get back to where I was, quite possibly an hour ... like *MOST* AI, when you need it most is exactly when it is most likely to screw up. If there's a traffic jam, trust the official diversion or your instincts, as AI is quite likely to mess up completely. I think I completely lost faith in it when it tried to divert a closed motorway down a single-track road ...

Cheers,
