Made me smile. It did the same thing from New York City to London, UK.
Those map programmers got some humor.

Actually it does it for any European city from a US destination. Even Moscow!

I tried some other combinations, but apparently they will never recommend that you swim across the Pacific.

Too cold, I guess.

I find it interesting that they take you all the way up the coast before your waterborne portion of the journey (no matter where you define your point of origin). I could scoot over to AC on the AC Expressway and hit the drink much sooner.

i think line 24 is funnier, you just spend over 5000km swimming and then take a "Slight right at E05"

Those directions, while not incorrect, could use a little more detail.

After you arrive at the wharf (line 22), you are supposed to drop your gun and backstroke across the Atlantic.
