Google Maps Easter Egg Discovered
Google Maps features a very funny Google Easter Egg: If you ask for directions from an address in Australia to an address in the USA the ever helpful "Get directions" tool gives some great tips on how to cross the Pacific Ocean.
Easter eggs are hidden surprises created by programmers.
Tip of the hat to Michael Smith of Technocrat.net for uncovering the Google Maps egg.
Now at least I know how Aussiewebmaster made his way to the USA.

Not to quibble, but this is nothing new. I happened upon this back in November, and a quick Google search reveals plenty of others who found it as early as April of last year. If I looked harder, I'm sure I could find even older mentions of it. Don't get me wrong; it's funny. It's just old news.
