As much as I admire Google and the assorted ways in which they have made life on the internet a whole lot easier and much more interesting (e.g. see www.blogspot.com) Google Maps is one thing that still needs a bit of work. The interface is dinky, and the maps are ugly. Oh, and sometimes their directions are a bit suspect.

Case in point - although they give you driving directions to go from Anchorage, Alaska, to London, England, at one point they require you to swim across the Atlantic ocean, a staggering swim of 3,462 miles. At this point, I could say a lot of clever and vaguely funny things, but I'll leave all that to your imagination, shark food.

But, gee! Really.
See for yourself.
