LOL Google Maps Gem

1. Go to Google Maps and click on Get Directions.
2. Write USA as your start point.
3. Write Japan as your destination.
4. Go to the 31st point on your route and see what it says.





Found on another forum BTW.

 

Crossing any ocean will give you similar directions.

 

The best bit was the particularly optimistic travel time

 

Ah I remember something similar that was in a Youtube comment.

China to Japan, step 41 Less tiring than a Kayak for sure lol

 

I wonder if working for Google is as awesome as all of these little easter eggs make it out to be.

 

Even more awesome, my dad's work brought him into contact with google. They gave him a free notebook (paper, not a laptop) with one of those optical tilty cover things so that initially it showed the entire earth but if you tilted it it zoomed in on a particular point, ala google maps.

Like that one?

That's the most awesome notebook I've ever seen.

 

Exactly like that except the bindings are along the side and it focuses on some place in dorset. It was also around the time they we're introducing their information features so you get a little window at the end with information about the place.

 

Even more awesome that they made localized versions..

 

I think it might be going by these offices
