We love road trips at Download Squad. That's why we're so excited about Google Maps ability to provide driving directions. It's not new, but Google Maps works very well. So well in fact that Google Maps can provide you with driving directions that span continents; Continents that aren't even linked by roads.

Try it yourself. Go to Google Maps and enter a location in North America, and a destination in Europe. Your resulting driving driections will include a brisk swim across the north Atlantic ocean. And, you thought you were going to be bored over spring break!
