You've probably already seen this if you read reddit/digg/whatever. However, I found the comments on reddit really funny.

Map is inaccurate. Any fool would obviously swim to Portugal, not all the way to France. DUH!

And of course the shortest path is curved on a Mercator projection, so the straight line they show takes you too far south.

I like how Google just straight up tells you to swim 3400+ miles across the Atlantic ocean....

They also give a time estimation of 29 days ... that's a good constant clip of about 5mi/hr swimming, talk about getting worn out.

I find it more impressive that now they tell you which roads are toll roads. Now if only they had an option to give you directions avoiding toll roads.
