What is the most accurate driving directions site?

Q. Hi, I'm planning to drive to San Antonio Texas and have never driven over that area. I was looking at Yahoo Maps, Google Maps and even Rand Mcnally Maps, they all give different directions, some even say left or wirte or vice versa on the same steps? Which one has proved to be more reliable, or which do you use?

A. Google Maps

What are these circular fields that look like sonar on google maps?
Q. Just browsing through and I see these pop up all over, just wondering what they were?

example : http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=inyo+national+forest&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&hq=inyo+national+forest&hnear=Inyo+National+Forest,+Bishop,+CA+93514,+USA&ll=35.274108,-118.955755&spn=0.016327,0.027595&t=h&z=15

A. I believe those are crop fields that are irrigated by an arm that pivots around it's base in the middle, thus forming a circle. They are used in dry areas with little water access. I noticed that there a lot of them in certain areas of China too when I was looking at google Earth one day.

What is Google going to do with Google Video now that they have YouTube?
Q. What exactly are they doing with YouTube? Is it just for profit from the ads, or are they actually going to make into one of those Google programs like Google maps, Google Local, Froogle, etc. And what's the point in them having Google Video now anyways? YouTube still doesn't say: copyright 2006 Google, or anything like that.

A. I'm sure they will compare notes, merge the two platforms together taking the best of both to combine one all exclusive, billion dollar ad revenue generating video behemoth.
