This Route Has Tolls....

Post by radiojake »

So the other day my girlfriend and I walked a fair distance home after we decided we didn't want to catch the tram. It was a three hour walk that included a quick stop to get some food as we passed through the city. We wanted to know how far exactly we had walked, so I typed in the addresses in google maps to be able to work out the distance.

"This route has tolls
This route includes a ferry
This route crosses through Japan"


Obviously I deleted my home address - I am not at all paranoid

I didn't miss type the address, I guess I just didn't think I had to specify between East Brunswick in Melbourne, Australia and East Brunswick in New Jersey, USA, considering it already knew my starting point was in Port Melbourne.

#1. I think you can avoid the tolls if you try hard enough.

#2. I also misread the topic title and thought it said 'This route has trolls.' And then when I saw the little google image, I really hoped they added some barely used humorous code about trolls.

+1 ... seems like we're more interested in a troll hunt than a toll hunt lol.

radiojake... I think google is trying to tell you that you should have taken the scenic route :-$

If you had to come this far to find trolls in the forum, you weren't looking very hard...:-)

I heard they are concentrating in Japan -- they like the warm radiation.

Speaking of Japan - why is there what looks like a googlemap warning about going into Japan?

Not a warning about Japan specifically -- just a notification that the route generated takes you onto the territory of another country (besides the one you're leaving and the one you're traveling to) during the route.
