Google maps...DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU SEE!!!

Landmarks that are mislabeled + Streets that mysteriously end + Addresses that don't exist
= Google Maps SUCKS for Panama City.


After hours of confusion, I realized three things:

1) Look at the "Satellite" view on Google maps to see where the street really goes (and if it really ends).

2) Don't trust the labels on Google maps. If you are looking for a specific landmark or place, find out where exactly it is from a RELIABLE source, then use the streets on Google maps to locate it. When you think you've found it, use "Satellite" view to make sure it's really there.

3) Don't expect to find all addresses by just typing them in. Refer to #2 above.
