Maybe their math was lacking a little accuracy after that date and the error factor was becoming unbearable.

The Mayan calendar doesn't finish in 2012, any more than our calendar finished in 1999, it just turns over to their equivalent of a new millennium. And it just happens to be in 2012, there is nothing magical to that.
Actually, the Mayans did a pretty good job on visual astronomy and tracking things like planets and lunar cycles. Search back through this and other 2012 threads for tons of more information.
