Directions from San Diego to Stockholm

Try asking Google Maps how to get from somewhere in the US to somewhere in Europe.  For example, San Diego to Stockholm:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=Stanford,+California,+United+States&daddr=KTH-hallen,+Stockholm,+Sweden&ie=UTF8&sll=44.590467,-45.351562&sspn=72.777899,141.328125&z=3&ll=48.341646,-52.207031&spn=69.041077,141.328125&om=1&layer=t

Be sure to pay attention to what they say to do once you're in Boston.

Live Search Maps (http://maps.live.com) tells me that it "cannot find a route for the locations you entered."  Obviously the correct answer, but not nearly as entertaining.

While we're looking at maps, here's where I work:

The aerial views are amazing.  (Scroll towards the soccer fields - the one to the right has people on the field.)
