I actually don't like it when authors get TOO detailed, because it feels more like I'm reading somebody's love letter to their home town or their travel diary from that one trip they took junior year of college than a fic. The best is when the details are correct, but it all blends seamlessly into the story - e.g. it feels like the characters have logical reasons to be where they are and they didn't go there because the author wanted to show of his or her local knowledge.

I agree with you, however, because while I don't mind authors being vague on the picky details, there's no excuse for errors of basic geography - distances, likely travel times, possible travel methods, landscape (are there mountains?), climate, and population size. All of that can be found on Google and Wikipedia. I don't care if the diner the characters stop at really exist or if they turned the correct direction from the museum's front doors to get to the bathrooms (although that kind of correct detail is awesome, if it doesn't feel forced) but not having the faintest clue where a city is located in relation to other cities and how one might get there just pulls me out of the story.
