Directions and Googe Maps

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Suppose you want to get from Chicago to London. Fair enough, right? And suppose that you wanted Google Maps to help you on your way.

According to Google Maps, it would take you a mere 29 days 22 hours to get from Chicago to London. And the reason why...?

they probably dont calculate flights or anything. Not sure though, I didn't even know they calculated days for you

because it tells you to swim the atlantic ocean.

That is awesome. I would have preferred it to say something the lines of "TAEK PLAIN".

I noticed that yesterday when I looked up New York to Paris. I lol'd.

No. You have to pick the option that says "fastest route".

Well, at least it suggest the best possible place to start swimming being the harbour (swimming-free zone).:p

The swim across Atlantic made me laugh.

They even direct you to what pier you're meant to jump off. Now that's service. :D

[Reles]

....Wow.

[The Unknown Guru]

Ooooooookay...

[yanis]

It's good Google Maps didn't suggest to go from the opposite way to swim across the Pacific Ocean...:D
How many days it would take?

[McLovin']

Swim can be used as a metaphor...

And look after all that you still gotta pay a toll! >=(
