Google Maps got it right
I am impressed. Today, I went by bicycle from Narita to the Museum for Japanese History in Sakura cross-country - using navigation by Google Maps (ca. 20km). I used the pedestrian navigation. Not a single mistake. Very exact guiding. Google sent me along roads and pathes which I would never have even thought about being the correct ones, some as small as 1 meters. But it also sent me up and down the hills when there were roads around the hills. Well done, Google. However, a recommendation: use an MTB with broad tyres if you do such cross-country riding. Not all of the roads today were made for road bikes. I came through an area with lots of sacred ponds.
