Is it Santiago you're referring to? Maybe they're still working on the Chilean one.
Good to know... I will definitely look forward to using Google Maps again in BsAs. It isn't just Santiago (although that was def one city where they messed up). Roads surrounding Puerto Varas, Valdivia (in the city), Villarrica (which shows streets on the lake), and more. It goes on and on in Chile.

I find that usually works quite well...
Perhaps your Spanish is better than mine? I've asked people in hotels where they speak some English and even then have difficulty. Can't imagine it getting any better out on the streets once I'm driving and lost. Plus sometimes I don't realize I'm lost until I'm driving in a remote area trying to get to a hike for example. No one around to ask in the mountains.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it.
