I have put complete faith in Google maps in poor lighting before

And that is a very unsafe way to operate a two ton motor vehicle. As the driver, it is your responsibility to operate your vehicle safely. If you can't operate it safely in the given conditions, you are obligated to not operate it. If lighting conditions are so poor, and your vehicles illumination is insufficient, stop driving.

We test drivers and license them to make sure they know not only the rules of the road but safety measures. Putting "conplete faith" in an automated system is the very definition or irresponsible driving and should be grounds to lose ones license.
