UML- Useless Meaningless Lousy?

Good point.
Someone (I think Martin Fowler) suggested spending 2-3 days upfront sketching the big architectural points. I generally think that is a good idea.
But I do like OP's analogy of UML being used to make the maps that us programmers will use.
I guess I am looking forward to the day when we don't have to make our maps manually.

I think it boils down to personal preference although I can't help but believe that some up front planning (uml or otherwise) is going to be more consistantly effective than just jumping in and coding. No matter how many WIMP type questions you avoid.
