This Route Has Tolls....

So the other day my girlfriend and I walked a fair distance home after we decided we didn't want to catch the tram. It was a three hour walk that included a quick stop to get some food as we passed through the city. We wanted to know how far exactly we had walked, so I typed in the addresses in google maps to be able to work out the distance.
"This route has tolls
This route includes a ferry
This route crosses through Japan"
Obviously I deleted my home address - I am not at all paranoid

).

I didn't miss type the address, I guess I just didn't think I had to specify between East Brunswick in Melbourne, Australia and East Brunswick in New Jersey, USA, considering it already knew my starting point was in Port Melbourne.

#1. I think you can avoid the tolls if you try hard enough.
#2. I also misread the topic title and thought it said 'This route has trolls.' And then when I saw the little google image, I really hoped they added some barely used humorous code about trolls.

+1 ... seems like we're more interested in a troll hunt than a toll hunt lol.
radiojake... I think google is trying to tell you that you should have taken the scenic route

If you had to come this far to find trolls in the forum, you weren't looking very hard...

I heard they are concentrating in Japan -- they like the warm radiation.

I wonder what he would get if he did a search for directions to Trollville?

Speaking of Japan - why is there what looks like a googlemap warning about going into Japan?

Why does it say CENSORED everywhere?

Not a warning about Japan specifically -- just a notification that the route generated takes you onto the territory of another country (besides the one you're leaving and the one you're traveling to) during the route.
