Got a tip for us?

I'm actually thinking of making this drive. The route looks really straight, maybe I can push my car to its limits!?
I did from Sydney to Boston and got pretty much the same route but longer: 26417.7km (56 hours and 8 hours). I wonder if there are traffic updates from the Atlantic Ocean?
We should have a competition to see who can get the longest route in google maps.

Duh, 2.2 gives you the option to choose your mode of transportation: by foot, rail, public transportation, or submarine.
I can only get it to give my kayak directions to US and Canada. It won't let me drive from Melbourne to New Zealand or the UK or Indonesia :-(
