Ha! That's hilarious. Got passport?
For similarly amusing results try:
Start Address: Canada
Start City: Montreal
End Address: Canada
End City: Vancouver
You'd think there'd be a bit of sanity checking along the lines of:
if ((start_country == end_country) && (next_point != start_country)) {
goback();
}
Actually, can anyone think of a journey where it's faster/easier/less
hassle to actually leave and re-enter the same country to reach your
destination?
