I’m taking a trip to New Jersey shortly, \u00a0landing at JFK and spending the evening in NYC first. I was very frustrated that Google Maps didn’t point me the right way on public transit. I figured out what the issue is…<\/p>\n

If you type “JFK” into Google Maps, it doesn’t show the right starting point. You need to type “JFK Airport” in.<\/p>\n

If you just type in “JFK”, it thinks you are starting in the middle of the airfield<\/strong> and it figures you don’t want to take the Airtrain but walk 1.4 miles amid the planes<\/strong> to the nearest MTA bus stop. This trip understandably takes a little longer, especially when you’re hauling your bags down the runway<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I wrote a note to Google Maps<\/a> asking if they couldn’t fix this.<\/p>\n
