Google maps, what a joker. Thinking about taking a day off next week and going to a N. Carolina beach and I put in my zip code as starting point and N. Carolina beach as end point but I forgot the last number and the four digit number I did put evidently corresponds to Australia. So Google maps gives actual directions from a point in Australia up to the water's edge and then says, "kayak across the Pacific Ocean," 12,742 km. And then picks up again in Washington State and gives directions to NC. Total trip, "17,796 km, about 42 days, 17 hours."
