google maps - longest route challange

[Blokker_1999]

Who can find the longest route with driving instructions on Google maps? Some simple rules:

- Only 2 waypoints (start and finish)

- Only google maps links allowed

- Do not use coordinates but use named locations as start/finish.

- Kayaking is allowed

One example :

Khulna, Bangladesh to Cape Agulhas, Western Cape, South Africa - 25,261 km, 14 days 11 hours

I'm not sure if that's beatable, at least not by much. Google's routing across country boundaries is very inconsistent.

I thought I had a brilliant one from Lisbon (Portugal) to Vladivostok (Russia - though pretty much on the boarder of North Korea). I blame the route partly to the Himalayas! or the Google error which appeared..

eAi, it is beatable, i have gone up to 29400km with 58 days.

Z3RB1AN, google maps does indeed miss a lot of stuff. Mainly border crossings but also entire countries. I doubt you would have made Vladivostok simply because google does not seem to like russia. Also a route like that would be instantly beaten by simply starting from south africa, as eAi demonstrated google maps has crossings between Africa and Europe.
