Google Maps Easter Egg

Google maps provides directions from NYC to Dublin. Note step #23 in the directions.

( Thanks to merde, who in turn got it from boutell.)

	It seems a change in means of conveyance is nececessitated at step #23... (Reply to this)

	I never trust web directions without checking a map first. Wouldn't it make more sense to swim to Ireland instead of France? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It would also make sense to just leave from New York rather than driving to Boston first...apparently, their only way of getting across the Atlantic is from Boston to Le Havre. By swimming. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm not sure which I like best - step 23 or step 24 (the "slight turn right" you make after landing) - just how precisely do they think you'll be making landing after swimming across the ocean? (Reply to this)

	After one miserable week I spent in England, I think I'd happily swim 3,400 miles to go from England to NY! (Reply to this)

	29 Days and 19 Hours travel time. Hmmmmmm. Is that dragging your vehicle behind you or not. Insert laiden/unlaiden swallow joke here. I was also amused that upon reversal of the directions it changed to km for the distances. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"upon reversal of the directions it changed to km" Heh. I'd not noticed that. Now I too am amused by it. :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)
