I stumbled upon a reference to AA Roads when reading an article about Clearview on CityLab (http://www.citylab.com/commute/2016/01/official-united-states-highway-sign-font-clearview/427068/).
Are there any other references from national media to AA Roads?
HOLY SHIT, WE'RE FAMOUS!

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.

This isn't just an old guy grumble. Our frequent commenter 1995hoo pointed out a conversation about the maps on the AARoads forum (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=11718.0). 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.
