Google Maps: Beware of Aircraft Noise

First published: 31^st July 2008

Google Maps Hong Kong has recently introduced a "Get Directions" feature, however, it may need some fine-tuning as it appears to include roads that are not open to the public. For example, a trip from Chep Lap Kok starts with directions to drive down one side of the Airport south runway, and up the other side, rather than landside of the main terminal building. This should only be attempted while holding a security pass, in a vehicle with a flashing light on top, with due care and attention to Jumbos and Airbuses crossing your path.
