I haven't tried any locations on the east coast, but Minnesota, Texas, and southern California all end up in the Indian Ocean.  I suspect anywhere in USA except Alaska and Hawaii will do the same, although some might be pretty close to Australia or Madagascar.

Looks like about halfway between Australia and the Cape of Good Hope.

Not quite halfway for me, but I would definitely come out under water. Which then raises the question: Woud I drain the Indian Ocean, and flood my home town?

Once you get past the elephants you hit the top turtles shell.

After that it's turtles all the way down.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

It didn't work correctly.  I entered my 5 digit ZIP and it switched my U.S. location to somewhere in France as the starting point.  :facepalm:

After that it's turtles all the way down.

And then back up, as I pointed out already.

So you'll hit the elephants again, this time from the bottom.

And their bellies are ticklish.  They cause earthquakes when they're tickled.  So it is said.
