Visit Places - Drive, Fly or Swim
Thursday, March 29, 2007
So I open up the much reliable Gmaps and here's what I find ....
Pay attention to - Item #9 and you'd see what I mean. And then #10 asks me to take a "slight right". Pay toll and reach my destination "London" after traveling 3,722 mi in about 29 days 6 hours. I wonder, amongst other things, how they'd have calculated my swimming speed :P.

@ mosilager - tis funny. I think its intentional. Who would use "Swim" and then go on to calculate it on a Map ? Yahoo says it simply cannot do it ;)
