Now they're using Japan and China? A couple of years ago it was NYC to Paris. So old and so not funny. I guess they needed a new one for those that missed the original in the MySpace times.
well it made me laugh, if someone is looking on google maps for directions from japan to china they are probably stupid anyways. japan to los angeles they tell you to kayak to hawaii and then kayak to washington lol
For instance, if you chart a path from my daughters house to her grandma's house (a distance of 7 miles via the Farm to Market road), it takes you on a journey up into Oklahoma and back down again, for a total distance of nearly 30 miles. The final instruction is "Utilize county roads last 4 miles."
My favorites are my fellow truckers that, even when using the commercial vehicle versions of GPS, still manage to hit low overpasses and bridges because they are glued to the GPS screen instead of the road in front of them...

The inlaws bought my wife a GPS for Christmas. We turned onto our road, and it had a panic attack. It kept telling us to turn around, and drive into the lake behind us. We turned that piece of crap off, and never used it again.

I used a Tom Tom once up in Oklahoma and got horrendously lost. It didn't know the county had recently changed all the rural roads from names to 911 numbers. Neither did I.
Gimme a map and I'll be fine. Those modern electronic gadgets are just too unreliable because their advice is only as good as the data they have and they don't know what I know.
Hubby always likes to try the Tom Tom when we venture out to a location we have never been to.. It got us hopelessly lost on back roads going from Bangor Maine to Union Maine. It was a VERY foggy day and it got us on this very curvy and hilly road for miles and miles. We resorted to using the paper map. Not a fun day and it should have been.
Another time some months later he tried it again in the Augusta, ME area on our way to Boothbay. It was so far off it was pathetic. I was about ready to stomp in it and put it in the trash. Give me the good old paper map any day.
