Hilarious MapPoint Directions!

[Amused]

You CAN Get There From Here...

Just don't use the latest Microsoft route planning technology!

Go HERE

Start, country - NORWAY, city, Haugesund
End, country, NORWAY, city, Trondheim

Then press "Get Directions" and lean back for a nice chuckle...look at the green line, amazing

Anyone from Norway like to explain?

Did you select "Scenic route"?

Amused: if you though that was funny, change the "Route Type" to "Shortest"

I know Newcastle is a good night out, but it's not worth that much of a detour!

Hah, tried 2 nearby cities in Finland and got this:

"A route between the locations you entered could not be calculated. One of the locations may not contain necessary connectors such as ferry routes or main roads. Please change one or both of the locations."

Soo, it apparently tries to find as many ferry routes as possible??? :Q

 

[Cristatus]

maybe they are islands?

 

[kyparrish]

Those silly Europeans add 4 hours of time to their "shorter" route!

Last time I checked, Microsoft wasn't European.
