Google maps, your gonna get me killed * 1
    #14159132 - 03/21/11 12:40 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

So I wanted to see how far japan was from washington state in google maps, and the directions they gave me




13. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean
Entering Hawaii                      2,756 mi
14. Continue straight            0.1 mi
15. Turn left at Kuilima Dr 0.5 mi
16. Take the 3rd right onto HI-83 W    12.4 mi
17. Continue straight onto HI-99 S/Kamehameha Hwy 6.5 mi
18. Slight left at HI-80 S/Kamehameha Hwy
          Continue to follow Kamehameha Hwy        2.1 mi
19. Take the Interstate H-2 S ramp to Honolulu  0.2 mi
20. Merge onto I-H-2 S 7.9 mi
21. Merge onto I-H-1 E 4.7 mi
22. Take exit 13B toward Halawa Hts. Stadium 0.3 mi
23. Merge onto I-H-201 E 4.1 mi
24. Merge onto I-H-1 E 4.1 mi
25. Take exit 23 for Punahou St toward Waikiki/Manoa 0.2 mi
26. Turn right at Punahou St 0.1 mi
27. Take the 1st right onto S Beretania St  0.1 mi
28. Take the 1st left onto Kalakaua Ave 1.9 mi

wouldnt you want to kayak around hawaii instead though? it'd be a bitch carrying it the whole way.

but then, once you get there, i guess your not really there yet... Google has to run you though a shit ton of toll booths before your officially in japan
30. Turn left toward 県道275号線 0.4 mi
31. Turn left toward 県道275号線 358 ft
32. Turn left toward 県道275号線 0.2 mi
33. Turn right at 県道275号線 0.1 mi
34. Turn left at 国道125号線         499 ft
35. Turn right at 県道24号線         0.6 mi
36. Turn left at 千束町(交差点) onto 国道354号線 2.0 mi
37. Turn right at 中村陸橋下(交差点) to stay on 国道354号線  1.0 mi
38. Take the ramp to 常磐自動車道
Toll road  0.3 mi

Kayak across the pacific

:lolsy:

And the fact that it's there twice in the same direction list makes it so much more confusing. Like why the fuck would you kayak back across after kayaking across it already? horrible directions :lol:

It might take some time, but I'd be interested to see if those directions get you exactly from Washington state to Japan :lol:

Does it really say kayak across the Pacific?! OMG man, that is fucking hilarious.

How awesome would it be if they found a guy in the middle of the Pacific and all he had was this and his phone with the Google Map App running.
