Maps are only as good as the navigator interpreting them. When we were first married the DW was giving me directions while looking at a map. She wanted to see someplace off our route. She said it was "close by". After making the turn and driving for about an hour I pulled over and asked to see the map she was looking at. It was a map of the eastern states, everything east of the Mississippi. She said it was only "an inch or so away"! After I pointed out the map scale that was like 1" = 100 miles, well now you know the rest of the story.
