If you go to http://www.google.co.uk/ it's just below the text box.
If you use a Google through a browser menu box then you may not get the "I feel lucky" button.

I can understand Boston being picked as the exit port, but why not swim to England? 
The route shown probably avoids various dangerous seas off Cornwall or something. With people becoming nervous about flying this may become the prefered method of travelling the Atlantic  |

Try typing in Paris, Texas to Paris, France.
There is a problem from #27 to #28
So if you do swim the ocean and then come to France you will be exactly at EO5???? |

It would make more sense to have a stop-over in Ireland (and try some of those Singapore noodles I read about in that strange Irish travel story). |

I was all in favour but my wife was nervous about the possibility that nanobots might travel up the waste pipe and emerge at an inconvenient moment.  |

"We could not understand the location there
Suggestions:
Make sure all street and city names are spelled correctly.
Make sure your address includes a city and state.
Try entering a zip code.
"
Is that what was supposed to happen? |

Not for me! It must be area-sensitive, whatever that means.
Try doing it at www.google.co.uk and hopefully you will find out!
Here's the direct link to Google Maps UK: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wl&q=

| I asked for directions from Heaven to Hell and it actually gave me an answer...apparently, Hell is located in the middle of the Pinckney State Recreation Area somewhere near Ann Arbor, MI. Must be State fans. |

Ahah, got the "Here to There" done. For some reason it won't recognise "there" if it's the first search tried upon opening the Maps window, I'd tried the UK google maps yesterday. But if I do another search first then it allowed me to go "here to there" after that. No idea why.
I tried Heaven to Hell and it sent me from the UK through France and up to Norway. |

I've just discovered that, at Google maps, it's possible to go from Here to Eternity - in only 45 easy steps!
Try it yourself. http://maps.google.com/
I can't guarantee it will work for you non-Europeans, but if it doesn't you could try http://maps.google.co.uk/
