I bashed Google Maps before for suggesting ludicrous trips across the Bay of Sidney in order to cross a street, but this is way more funny than annoying.

It’s not the fastest way, either, especially not during rush hour (which in this route, is basically during daylight hours).
Much more efficient would be at step 5 to turn South on FDR Dr, then jump into the water at the southern end of Manhattan. Much quicker than trying I-84 or the eastern end of the Mass Pike I-90, and once you’re swimming three thousand miles, what’s another couple hundred.
I’d also think that cutting through the Bay of Biscay might be quicker, although that depends on the wind and weather there, often treacherous, possibly even more treacherous than the Paris drivers.
No, Google developed an algorithm to optimize swim travel time while minimizing swim effort during TiSP development.
You would actually arrive 30 minutes sooner this way, and unusually refreshed.

That may be faster of a swim for you people if have to get to paris quickly, but if you wanted a little more of a scenic route, swim up to Nova Scotia than a little further to Newfoundland than on to paris. Slower but if swimming you get to see a little more and a bit of a rest for the long haul to paris,thats the way I’d go if swimming; but then again I don’t like to get to places fast if going by that means of transpertation.
That’s just sad.
I cannot swim.
Now, it doesn’t work in Google, saying “We could not calculate directions between New York and Paris.”
