Yak to HI?

[thekingfeeder]

As I sit here and tape up a package that I am sending to Hawaii, I decided to see if google maps would blow up if I asked for driving directions to HI. At the least, I expected to maybe get an error message that said, "you can't get there from here." Well to my surprise I got actual driving directions to HI. The funny part is as follows....


0.3 mi
25. Turn left at NE Pacific St
0.7 mi
26. Continue on NE Northlake Way
0.2 mi
27. Turn left to stay on NE Northlake Way
1.0 mi
28. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean
Entering Hawaii

2,756 mi
29. Slight right at Turtle Bay Hilton
0.1 mi
30. Turn left at Kuilima Dr
0.5 mi
31. Turn right at HI-83/Kamehameha Hwy
10.5 mi


I don't think that I will be kayaking 2700 miles..... It just struck me as funny. Out of all the transportation methods, a kayak is what google came up with.

Hey Kevin,

looking for a new challenge?

Google maps has a habit of spouting funny little tidbits like that. A few months ago I got a Google Map that included the instruction "Swim across the Atlantic."

I got something similar when I asked for directions to Phillip Island Australia

I tried to look up directions from my house to Hawaii, and it came back "no search results".:mad::p
