MAPQUEST

GPS technology is remarkable, but it is only as good as its data base and even cutting edge firms such as MapQuest are subject to sloppy, inaccurate data entry. Street information on Mapquest is at least 12 years out of date and Mapquest ignores repeated requests to update.

WE DO NOT RECCOMEND USING MAPQUEST TO LOCATE THE SHOWBOAT
