192.com maps

I see that 192.com has launched a maps / directions service, to compete with MultiMap / StreetMap / Google Maps etc. Good luck to them...

The first test route I entered, from this house to our old place, gave me a set of directions that, while pleasingly direct, involved going the wrong way up several one-way streets. More homework required methinks!

Heh. Asking it how to get me from home to work produces a similar effect. But it's strange:

OX3 0BP (brookes) to OX3 8TT (Home):
It starts from the wrong place: the end of Carwell Crescent, not Gypsy Lane.
The link from Valentia Road onto Headington Road has been closed.

Most oddly: what would you think was the shortest route between those two points? Along Old Road, and turn right? Or the route marked, which clearly goes around two sides of the triangle...

Hmm! That does seem a bit feeble.
