I stumbled upon a reference to AA Roads when reading an article about Clearview on CityLab.

Are there any other references from national media to AA Roads?

From the Google Maps Just Fucking Sucks Now Thread:

The AARoads Forum, specifically this thread, earns a mention in the Washington Post!

Map rage: Navigating Google's revised way-finding system by Robert Thomson (Dr. Gridlock)

QuoteIt wasn't broken, Google. Why did you have to fix it?

The last time I wrote about Google Maps was to praise the way-finding system, comparing it favorably to Apple's much-derided mapping system.

That was then. This is now: The version of Google Maps now showing up on my desktop PC is fuzzy and slow. And those are its best qualities.

....

This isn't just an old guy grumble. Our frequent commenter 1995hoo pointed out a conversation about the maps on the AARoads forum. The commenter included a warning about the language I would encounter there from travelers who are reacting as I did.

....


I had sent him a tweet, in reply to his prior one that I quoted earlier in this thread, suggesting he check out this thread.
