Google Maps: Which Highway is Which?

While I agree Google Maps aren't perfect, it isn't because the Google Maps team is dumb.<p>Would you believe it's hard to render perfect street maps? This isn't a million monkeys with crayons... they have a very nice set of cartographic algorithms that make stunning maps, and every street isn't going to be perfect.<p>The blog post is glib and doesn't say anything more than "this looks bad, fix it."

Completely useless article. If you're going to criticize something, present an interesting solution. Otherwise, stop trying to increase your hit count.<p>I do agree that the labels can be confusing and should probably be changed to the same way roads are handled: text perpendicular to the road, making it easy to distinguish.
