Google Maps Directions: Swim Across the Atlantic Ocean

Posted by & filed under Other / Canada.

Using Google Maps to get direc­tions from Kingston, Ontario to Lon­don, Eng­land step 17 says “Swim Across the Atlantic Ocean”!! Very weird! :razz:
Google Maps

And assum­ing someone’s going to swim, why start swim­ming from Boston? Wouldn’t New Found­land be a bet­ter start­ing point? :lol:

Here’s the link to this trip on Google Maps

    Haha! Thanks for shar­ing!
    Google is worth 10.000 bil­lion dol­lars. Is that how they save up? Instead of plane tick­ets, they maks their employee swim?

    It would take “about 29 days 13 hours” to get to London.

    Awe­some.

    I’m in.

    Prob­a­bly the City Hall of Boston paid Google to invite more peo­ple to visit and swim.

    Hmm, I think I’d pre­fer the shorter swim direct from the har­bour there myself…

    But it opens up a whole new class of crazy trips:

    Not quite cir­cum­nav­i­ga­tion, but if Rus­sia ever sub­mits the east­ern half of it’s coun­try :)
