    I am assuming you don't have GPS on your phone...
    But to be honest, some of the best GPS systems out there use google maps, so you can use that, it's safe :D

    Worst case scenario, get on 94 and go east... it'll take you right there. Madison isn't too confusing for mapquest, especially if you have someone riding with you.

    If you use GoogleMaps make sure you get second opinions from MapQuest, YahooMaps, or whatever. I say this because I quit using GoogleMaps last spring after a 7 month 100% inaccuracy rate. I was gonna say only here in Western WI, but now that I think about it, GoogleMaps was off on the couple things I needed it for up in the Cities, too.

    It is really, really off here in the fairly rural areas. It would be nice if they could blame it on our twisty roads, but when they're 4-7 miles off on a fairly straight stretch of US Highway 12, trust issues develop.

    THIS. I used GoogleMaps about a year ago and it was off by 5 city blocks for the place I was trying to get to. Had to call a buddy to help me out in which Mapquest got it right. I still use GoogleMaps, but also double check with Mapquest or YahooMaps to make sure I'm not completely off the mark.

    madison is pretty easy to get around.
    and the Kohl center sticks out like a sore thumb.

    also it's right next to one of my favorite bars. The nitty Gritty. Hit that up before and after if you drink. Have fun!
