Because a human being had to put that ink to paper, and presumably, did so in an educated way. Automated machines are fallible, especially when the same algorithm might apply to walking directions in the streets of NYC, and certainly doesn't benefit from human scrutiny for every possible route it might suggest.

You can take the maps printed on paper ... and "print" them on a screen!

We're talking about Google Maps here. Not some PDF you downloaded.
