Google Maps

The new Google map service is very useful, particularly for finding busineses/pubs/pizzas in a given area. However it's driving directions do rather leave something to be desired. I'm am sure there are worse examples, but this from my house to a friend's house in Tulse Hill turns a 12 mile journey into a 27 mile one. It's not even because it has tried to stay on A-roads; there are much shorter and quicker ways than this.
