Certainly.  But if you are in a car and trying to get directions back to
your hotel, for example, you are depending on services like google not to
steer you through bad areas but they do now.

The ironic thing is that, in the particular case I am thinking of, not only
did it take me through a bad area, it took me out of my way to get there.
I later figured out I could have taken a left sooner and had a
straight-shot back to where I wanted to go.  That would have also taken me
through a business and commercial area rather than a residential one.
