How to use the Map Tunnelling Tool
Drag map 1 or 2 by clicking and holding the map as you move it. When you let go and finish dragging the map the other map will then show you where about's on the earth the far end of the imaginary tunnel will be. In effect it will show you what is at the other side of the earth.
To make things easier, you can also zoom the map in and out.
You can adjust the height of the map by using the small, medium and large buttons.
You can also change the map view using the Map, Satellite and Hybrid buttons. This works independently for each map.
About
This is a Antipodes Map. An antipode of a point on the earth is the region on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to that point. The two points which are antipodal to one another are considered to be connected by a straight line or tunnel through the centre of the Earth.

Can we just go around and... I just got to the bottom and ended up in the Southern Ocean and the water is really cold!

I was in Okinawa and if we dig deeper and deeper well end up in Brazil

Are we going to end up in the Indian Ocean or the Southern Ocean?

If we dig all the way through the North Pole, Santa will end up in Antarctica!

Hi Fred, it is displayed below the map but will only start to appear once you zoom in by at least one level. Yes, it will take in to account elevations at either side of the tunnel such as hills or mountains.

Where is the tunnel distance shown? And does it consider local elevations?
By Fred on 27th January 2017
Thx for the info, t was nice to know but I was hoping it would be NZ

Kasper, using your format it should be n53.46.030;w74.47.096. Using latitude, longitude it is 53.46,-74.47
