Google vs Bing Maps

I have been a fan of Google for a long time. I tried Live Search but ended up going back to Google.

The other day I was looking for an address in rural Hamilton, Flamborough actually. The address was 359 Concession 10 East Hamilton. I knew the general location I just wanted to know some street names around it to figure out the best route.

When I entered the address into Google Maps it took me to 359 Concession St in Hamilton which is on the mountain not in Flamborough. I tried various incarnations of the address but Google could not seem to find it. 

Therefore I switched over to Bing maps, entered the address the same as I had for Google and Bing found the exact location.

Bing, you have my attention!
