    When I saw it earlier, the screenshot looked Microsofty, so I checked Bing Maps, and it suggested the same diversion (although now it routes more directly). Maybe that’s the underlying service, and it’s biased towards sending folks via the Pacific Northwest, because even staying overnight in Chicago seems like it’d beat a four-day trip.

    So I think you’re right.
