This was funny - from George Takei's Facebook page -

go to google maps, put location A as The Shire and location B as Mordor, then click on the "walking directions" sign and then "get directions"

I just tried it myself. It even gave me a map from Voorhees NJ (about an hour west of where I live) to someplace in Philadelphia.

We could not calculate directions between 465 Northwest Chehalis Avenue, Chehalis, WA 98532 and Kooltuin 8, 1811 MG Alkmaar, Netherlands.

interesting - it works for me.

You need to look at the "use caution" box in yellow.

Yeah, I wasn't saying that it didn't work. I was saying that it DID work and even gave me a map, which I found funny because Mordor is apparently somewhere in Philadelphia.

The first time I did it, I got directions from a place called The Shire in the UK. The second time, I got directions to a place called Mordor Tattoo, which is in Washington state.

I tried it, and it worked for me, at first I forgot to click walking directions, which is important, apparently you can also get walking directions from New York to japan (you do have to kayak about 4,000 miles to get there, though, so I wouldn't advise it

Oddly, when taking a car the other direction-- China to Japan-- one has to use a jetski rather than a kayak:
