Navigation in small towns
Answered
Waiting for the summer and use Locus as a Seaplotter on my boat I have played around with the navigation features and compare it with Google? Navigation.
The test area is in a very little town (my town) with small roads.
Ok, to the point ; Locus (Mapquest) don`t find the right way between the "yellow house " and the "black car" but Google? do.
Offcourse I understand that this is not Locus fault but it would be Interesting to know about What`s happened I try to attach 2 screen shots
Cheers

The same question 
Hi,
This is pretty simple to explain. Google "knows" the all the little streets between yellow house and parked car. MapQuest only knows the main street.
This is a pretty good example of bad mapped rural areas. While Google can calculate a route on all the little streets from adress to adress, Mapquest starts and ends calculating at the "closest known points".
For better understanding, you can calculate a route using Google between some random points somewhere in the fields (without a road next to the point). Now you see, that Google does the same as Mapquest.
