It works with just about any open ocean transit between two continents...the programmers at Google have to have something to make themselves laugh at 2am when they program this stuff...
It's also funny to sometimes download open source source code and search through the text. Programmer's will often put some racy stuff in their comment sections (stuff that gets thrown out by a compiler when source code is turned into executable binaries).
Or enter a starting point in the US or Canada, and a destination in China. The itinerary will show you how to drive to Gasworks park in Seattle, tell you to kayak across the Pacific to Hawaii, give you a road itinerary across Hawaii, then tell you to kayak across the Pacific again, then takes you to one spot in Japan and tell you to jetski across the Pacific to China.
This only works between US/Canada and China/Japan. It won't tell you how to kayak to Australia from the US, or from Mexico City to China.
also, try going from LA to Honolulu.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGood stuff.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSadly, it won't do Havana to Miami. Doesn't even try.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseStep 1, steal underpants...
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseStep 3, world domination.
Both are worth the look - funny!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNew York to Japan
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGeorge, great minds! I'm cold in Chicago and did just that. 'Kayak across Pacific, keep going straight.' LOL!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOf course, the punch line is that it isn't the Pacific Ocean - it's the East China Sea!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOr to go really crazy, try Miami to Tasmania....
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSo, Japan to China - no problem.
Los Angeles to Honolulu - Google gets you there.
But try New York to London: "we cannot calculate directions from New York to London"
Perhaps Google Maps shares our President's post-colonialist resentments?

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThank you Mr. Foster. I needed that!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGood luck with that.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseFrom the U.S. to China it says to kayak across the Pacific Ocean.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAnd if you try to drag the route so it takes you through Korea, nothing happens. As a New Englander would say, "Ya cahn't get there from here."
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseFor an extended trip, go from LA to Taiwan.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseTaipei to Honolulu has you swimming, jet-skiing, and kayaking! What a trip!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseVery funny! The AL to Honolulu is also very funny!
