Fun with Driving Directions (Google Maps)

Found a few fun ways to travel by typing phrases into the ‘driving directions’ boxes:
here to there

start to finish

soup to nuts

Any others?

Jack - Daniels

This link is wrong. How do you make it give a clickable link from this thread?

Up to Down :slight_smile:

What’s more, it appears to leave from Upper Up.

Dusk - Dawn

heaven to hell

Love to Hate (Requires some fudging, but does include a liesurely swim across the Atlantic)

city to farm

hell to hackley

  1. Open the google maps page with the view that you want.
  2. Right-click on the “Link to this Page” link at the top right of the map. A context menu pops up.
  3. Select “Copy link location” from this menu. The location of the page is saved into the clipboard, as if you had pressed Ctrl-C (Windows)/Command-C (Mac).
  4. Open your posting window on the Dope.
  5. Type {url=" (left square bracket, u, r, l, =, double quote)
  6. Paste the stored link location text.
  7. Type ** "} ** (double quote, right square bracket)
  8. Type the text you want to appear as the link text.
  9. Type {/url} ((left square bracket, slash, u, r, l, right square bracket)
  10. Press the Submit button. The link text appears, with the link pointing to the address of the google maps view.

The total text you type and paste appears as:
{url=“long pasted-in google map URL”}This link points to a map{/url}.

Note: I had to use curly brackets here {} because the SDMB system parsed my sample square brackets as an actual link even though I told it not to.

hard to handle

easy to be hard

Back to (the) Future

Tinkers to Evers to Chance

Cruel to Be Kind

T4 to (and) 240

Just realize I screwed all of mine up in the same way whose correction was explained earlier in the thread.

Dammit to hell (which doesn’t work).

I Regret to Inform you it has Come to This

The Highway to Heaven, ends just south of the Highway to Hell. However both seem to be Miles from Nowhere.

Enjoy,

North to South

An awful lot of these seem to involve swimming the Atlantic Ocean.

I suspect some sort of …nautical… conspiracy.

It takes two to tango
and it’ll take a long time to go from birth to death

From Here to Eternity

From Ay to Zee: Google Maps

I tried from “absurd” to “ridiculous”. Got “We could not understand the location absurd”. Too bad it didn’t work - just distantly (heh) funny.

Back to Front .

That’d be a good trip - the Outer Hebrides to Northern Italy.

Stairway to Heaven

To Hot to Handle.
