So Mordor is actually in Holland??? Funny warning. My directions are through Washington state. Pity there is no real map of Middle Earth in Google maps, Tolkien's maps never had enough detail for me. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | Yah, mine is through Washington too. More specifically, a restaurant named Shire in Chehalis, WA to Mordor Tattoo in Arglington, WA. A trip of 133 miles.
If you have a default location set up for Google Maps to start in your area, it tries to find matches there. |

Read warning...! Warning? The only warning I see is "Did you mean a different: The Shire". Tried IE and Firefox, upper and lower case. I'm not really seeing anything the least bit exciting. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | I also didn't get the warning (I knew what I was looking for, I read about this before).
After logging out and after switching to Walking rather than Driving it showed up. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
