Google Maps PA – WDF
The routing feature of google maps is brilliant. I’ve been searching for the route from Palo Alto to Walldorf. The estimated returned trip time is about 31 days, thus I was confused and I started to read the detailled steps. With step 29 I got stuck. It says: „Swim through the Atlantic Ocean — 3.462 miles.“ Followed by an empty line containing three single dots :). Step 30 continues then with the info „Keep right“ and step 31 tells you „to choose the second exit of the traffic circle“. Good luck 🙂

I haven’t seen this, but obviously the problem has already been discovered. However, I think this is a funny easter egg by its developers 🙂
