I don't think it will make much difference. All mapping programs locate spots by latitude and longitude. One typo and you wind up in an empty field. And they update them every year or two to account for new roads, previous mistakes and near me, one road that's been divided into three separate parts by subdivisions. When traveling, I plan with Streets an Trips, but supplement with a Rand McNally road atlas and detailed state maps at rest areas when I enter a new state. All of them release a new version every year or two for updates and to fix reported typos. If two of the three agree, I go with that.
If things didn't change, we'd never get stuck in a traffic jamb by roadwork crews.
I actually got so lost crossing a border between two states so many times, that I had to stop in a gas station to ask what state I was in. Now, that's embarrassing!
