[Off Topic] Typical Microsoft

How to plan a journey across Norway, the Microsoft way:

• Go to http://mappoint.msn.com/DirectionsFind.aspx.
  
• In the Start section, select "Norway" from the listbox and enter "Haugesund" into the "City" field.
  
• In the End section, select "Norway" from the listbox and enter "Trondheim" into the "City" field.
  
• Click on "Get Directions".

Brings a whole new meaning to "taking the scenic route".

Yeah, that's nice. I tried the same thing with www.mapquest.com and they don't even offer directions for many European countries (such as Norway).

Not the best indeed.

Try Drive Alive instead with the same start and end points.

Now THATS directions!!

Are you planning a trip to Norway Buzz? Bring lotsa warm stuff this time of year, its pretty cold up there (and the beer costs a mortgage!!) .

Nope. I'm not going anywhere near Norway (although it'd be a blessing to get out of this increasingly sticky heat :melt: ). It was just something that's been turning up in various places on the 'Net.
