proof positive that even computer geeks have to get a laugh...someone probably thought "If they are kooky enough to ask for driving directions across an ocean, they deserve that kind of answer."...its a good one though lol thumbsup

That sounds like more fun than I would know what to do with. How long is the amazon? Didn't some guy just swim that? Maybe he could do it:)

I tried it for other overseas locations... no dice. Some programmer just probably wanted to have a laugh and figured no one would ever see it.

Alex, try http://maps.google.es/

Apparently google.com.mx does not have the maps feature. Just click "Cómo Llegar" and type New York, NY and Paris, FR (en espanol smile ) and see if it works.

Hope that helps.
