In the region Bob Thurston and I measure, roads and "fixed" objects change all the time. Some old certification maps I have document courses that could no longer be laid out for the reasons Jim mentions.

I can "second" the "pet peeve" of Bob's that some race organizers do not use the cert map for course layout. In fact, I signed up to run a 10K I certified a couple of years ago only to find the RD was directing runners to the old start line. I had laid down a colored tape line across the road at the certified start line. Despite cries of a few runners who knew where the "real" start was, the RD started the race from a point that left the course about 1/10th of a mile short. Who knows what RDs do when no knowledgeable person is around?
