If I type in the Swedish town where I am now and New York, it recommends I drive through Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgistania and France before hopping into the water at Le Havre. Apparently they're concerned that I couldn't make the swim from here.

Oh, Google. You are truly funny.
Effective distance is greater when you have to swim against the Gulf Stream. Duh.

Makes me remember of Fallout 2 when the computer at Navarro says there are thousands of ways to get to the Enclave but only two that are actually suitable, fly by vertibyrd and the tanker. Guess that computer is smarter than the google maps.
Even some enclave personnel says the only way to get there is by vertibyrd unless you take a swim all the way there (in a very ironic way), if I am not mistaken.

it's a joke...Lt. Col. Gonzalez said:
do you expect googlemaps to book you a ticket on a cruise or a plane?

Nope, not at all. Not a bit. In dreams.
Yet, the technology for that is actually available, I think. Booking tickets over the internet is becoming a common thing. I could actually think of a whole new way of profiting from the combined abilities a software like that could offer.

1. Leave house
2. Turn right at next intersection
3. End at JFK Airport
4. Buy tickets from Google Airlines* now!
5. Turn right on E05.
6. End trip at Paris, France.

Ah, but you can find a directions from Earth to Moon. The drive is 1,308 miles so that's about 19 hours 49 mins. 
Or if you would like to see what moon is really made of, just scroll the map of moon close enough.

but that'd involve choosing a flight or boat for you, which they wont do unless they get some serious $$$ for it from the providerLt. Col.

people have done it before. (with a small raft though, so they could sleep, but no propellant or sail on it)10mmCurator said:

And that's where the profit comes in $$$.
Anyway, they could have just done something as simple as using the word 'travel' across the ocean instead of 'swim' across the ocean. Then you can assume is either by plane, boat or a darn spaceship instead of having to read such a ridiculous phrase.
