As a cross-test (being a Man of Science) I asked it how to get from Dublin to New York, to see if your result was some class of (what would be called) a freak event. It directed me off on my way to Britain, then over to France and THEN told me to go swimming from there!

Surely the direct route would be to wade into the Atlantic from Kerry (although I acknowledge that the water is very cold around these parts this time of year so maybe their algorithms take that into account)? If they are trying to reduce the tiring swim stage of the journey, then surely the African coast would be a better bet? Or a relative hop-skip-and-jump across to Iceland - Greenland - Canada?

I don't know, I really don't...

Sorry, Folks, this thread is not suitable for the Fiefdom. Moving to General Discussion...
