Google Maps Gains “Avoid Arizona” Option
Not really, but boy would this be handy.



Headed cross-country and worried about a new law that might get you stopped by the police in Arizona because you look like an illegal immigrant? Not to fear! Google has now added an “Avoid Arizona” option for those generating directions.

Google’s other options have been super helpful. You can get directions suited for taking public transit, walking, bicycling or by car. Now the Avoid Arizona option gives you directions that route you around that state:

8. Avoid Oklahoma, while you're at it. The highway patrolmen there are
trained phlebotomists and will stick you on the spot.
