Field notes
Safar describes using U.S. Census TIGER/Line boundary maps alongside Google Maps routing. If an address falls within multiple boundaries, the most specific one takes precedence; if it falls on a town line, the page says it reports the possible towns and gives a ruling for each. Users can add up to five stops, but those stops do not change the start-to-destination basis of the ruling.
