And even Streets and Trips uses out-of-date info. Both Google mapping and Streets and Trips show a river just south of where I live, and no roads. Well, back in the 1980s they dammed the river and created a large lake and recreational area. Several more roads were built at that time (or shortly after), including one that goes across the dam. I use that road in my 600K because it is quite a scenic, quiet road, but have to do some creative mapping with Streets and Trips to pretend that the road exists. I plan to reroute my 300K that way as well and will have to get creative when I do that too.
It's pretty sad when these programs use info from more than 20 years ago when newer information is available on land ordinance and other maps.
