What awesome places has your GPS taken you?

Just a random, casual, conversation starter discussion.... What cool places has your GPS taken you? I'd have to say over various ferries in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Nothing like watching your GPS navigate you across 14+ hours of ocean, still following the GPS line. "Snap to road" takes on a bit of a different meaning when on a ferry. Likewise it is cool to follow a provincial highway over the water and around islands. :)

We carried on from Prince Rupert to Prince George which is in the BC interior, and down through the Okanagan valley with it's miles of fruit trees and wineries. All in all a great trip.

I'd never be one to want to go on a cruise, but it was a pretty nice way to get from point A to B. ;)
Using the architect's original plans and aerial imagery from 2008, 1950 and 1935, I created a .kmz "custom map" of the site using GlobalMapper. Loaded it on my Montana and ventured into the thicket. I was bloody from the holly and greenbriar, but it was worth the effort. Very few people have been here, it was like going back in time.

I just finished a two week trip by sailboat from Maine to Nova Scotia. A little over 36 hours from Boothbay ME to Shelburn NS over open water. Then on to Moutoon Harbor, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Brooklyn and other stops.
Surprisingly one of the most enjoyable places my GPS and boat have taken me.
