    Default Directions and Googe Maps

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

    It looks like the ground had a sex change.

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

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

    Swim can be used as a metaphor...
