As EB and I were walking home from dinner in Summertown tonight, a parked car caught my eye. It was a VW Passat... with Virginia license plates. Guess somebody followed these directions.

Every Google Maps set of directions, from anywhere in the US to anywhere in Europe, uses that Boston-to-Le-Havre routing. The first time I saw it mentioned, it was something to do with directions from Dallas, TX to Uppsala, Sweden. Even using New York City as a departure point still routes you through Boston. (There is no equivalent for destinations across the Pacific; it simply says "We could not calculate driving directions...")
