Farthest latitude and longitude you've driven

Spinning off the other thread to ask how far you've driven.

And a bonus for the longest you've driven in your own vehicle, or on a contiguous network from your home.

I construe "driving" to mean just that, i.e., not including travel as a passenger (like in a cab or similar).

Using coordinates determined from Google Maps.

My own car (including cars belonging to my wife, in the case of "West," as I did all the driving on that trip):
North—Somewhere along Bay St. Lawrence Road on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Approximately 46.900558 N, 60.524574 W. (I'm not sure exactly where we decided not to go further and turned around.)
West—An on-ramp just past the western end of I-64 in Missouri. 38.812122 N, 90.852501 W. (We were on a trip to St. Louis and I was turning around after finishing the I-64 clinch.)
East—Along the Marconi Trail on Cape Breton Island en route from Glace Bay to Louisbourg at that road's easternmost point. Approximately 46.167316 N, 59.870697 W.
South—Somewhere in Coral Gables, Florida. I'm not sure exactly where we decided to turn around, but it was somewhere around the Coconut Grove area. Approximately 25.740007 N, 80.237849 W. (I think the actual southern point was somewhere south of there because I recall going through some local streets when we turned around, but I don't remember which ones.)

Any vehicle:
North—Along the A91 approaching St. Andrews, Scotland. 56.359878 N, 2.900620 W.
West—Along a curve on Koke'e Road in Kekaha, Hawaii. Approximately 21.981626 N, 159.718124 W.
East—Passing along the east side of the Heathrow Interchange on the M4 in England. Approximately 51.495928 N, 0.452413 W.
South—The parking for the ruins at Tulum in Mexico. Approximately 20.218329 N, 87.437416 W.

Then reverse it. I sometimes flip them.

How far west have you driven?

[Chris]

I drove to the North Cape in my own car in 2023. That's 71°10′21″N. It was a mega road trip of over 9,000 kilometers through Scandinavia.

The North Cape is the northernmost accessible road on a continuous road network.

If you want to go even farther north, you'd need to fly to Svalbard, where paved, public roads are around 78 N. There is car traffic in and around of Longyearbyen.

I said in my post, Hawaii. Kauai island specifically. 

[hotdogPi]

For some reason I thought you were listing Hawaii as your southern boundary, not your western boundary.

[Quillz]

South would probably be Tijuana. Never left the continent.

Contiguous roads, I mean. Which means for Alaska, Arctic Circle sign. Had to fly to Barrow. Haven't driven to Deadhorse yet, but I might this upcoming trip.

That's because he did.  But it was an error on his part because, as he said, he sometimes gets latitude and longitude mixed up.

At any rate, he still hasn't told us what line of longitude is his westernmost, which is what I assumed you were actually asking him.

Kauai would be farther south than Tijuana, so that's probably your western and southern point.

I don't know longitude offhand. It would be the closest ones to Kawaii. Went there in the late 90s.

Here are my bounds...

North: 37.0616, -94.4261,  I-44/49 interchange, Joplin, MO
South: 27.5803, -82.5709,  I-275/US 19 interchange near Palmetto, FL
East: 28.7748, -82.0865,  I-75 near Coleman, FL
West: 32.8154, -106.2696,  White Sands NP, NM

All of that was done in my trusty 2016 Honda CR-V.

[Quillz]

East would be Houlton, ME. Went there last year to view the eclipse. 

[kphoger]

North: 37.0616, -94.4261,  I-44/49 interchange, Joplin, MO

Whoa!  That's not very far north.

I know people who have never left their home town. One guy I know has never traveled more than 3 hours away from where he lives. He's almost 40.
