Gives me fond memories of the early days when Google maps would tell you to jet ski across the South China Sea from the Philippines to Vietnam or kayak across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii π

In less funny news, Google Maps once told me to walk onto a freeway off-ramp.
Cook added: "Now we've got the best map app on the planet"
Who's going to break the news to him?
But thatβs literally the directions to the 280N on ramp from DeAnza
Yeah, it was revealed that itβs a valid turn but the icon lacks the detail to explain why.
Either way, they completely changed it to the highway that runs beside Apple Park.
So there was no on-ramp there but AppleMaps decided there was?
There is an onramp, the directions are just poorly worded.
