    Yes don't trust Jill 100% she ran me down a darn gravel road. It was dark and i couldn't tell till i was already committed to the turn. And she will tell you it's on the left when in fact it is on the right!

    Let's not forget the added complications of the neighborhood market stores!! I've yet to go to 2 that were laid out the same. At least with the supercenters you can get somewhat accustomed to the layouts.

    Although Jill was pretty good most of the time, I always prefer to know the store layout before arriving as to avoid any surprises trying to turn around. The aerial views I look at give me a good mental picture of my options before I arrive. Neighborhood Markets, well, this is where my years of driving in Boston and NYC came in handy as space to maneuver at these stores is more condensed.

    Its kind of hard to see how a new location store will lay out when google maps hasn't updated at that time. I went to a new smaller neighborhood store(formally Wal~mart express store). Just opened and wasn't on any map yet. Open air single bay dock with every possible opertunity for vendors and cars and gas delivery trucks to be in the way of getting to said dock. Be careful when he gets out there and have him take his time. Either way as middle of the road said, your the captain of your ship. Congrats on Brian's orientation start. Been a busy week with all the snow and ice in northern Texas. Work extensions are in place to help those areas out.

    Sometimes different zoom levels on Google or Bing show more current aerial views, especially if in a metro area, as they update more frequently. Fortunately it works for most locations already established.
