Google Maps Easter Egg

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 02:38pm on 2007-03-29 under ,

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

( Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] merde, who in turn got it from [livejournal.com profile] boutell.)

I Rub My Fishie vibratorI never trust web directions without checking a map first. Wouldn't it make more sense to swim to Ireland instead of France?

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.

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?

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

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.

"upon reversal of the directions it changed to km"

Heh. I'd not noticed that. Now I too am amused by it. :-)
