Anyone up for a road trip?

From KOKOGIAK:

I set out to find the longest distance for which Google Maps would give Driving Directions. Now that they've shut down the fun "swim the Atlantic" feature, things have changed a bit. It turns out there are multiple "longest drives", because the Google Maps World is partitioned (many countries don't support driving directions), and sometimes ferries are included, and sometimes they are not.
Unalaska, AK to Southern Newfoundland, Canada = 7,267 miles or about 6 days 15 hours.

Yeah, I might have to stop once or twice on this one.  Imagine the Cannonball Run kind of race you could make out of this, though.
