I would love one of these! I am driving around the Lower Mainland all day……
I would love to do the drive down the coast from Vancouver all the way to LA – beautiful scenery and places to visit.
Ultimate road trip to Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 although the gps wouldnt get me that far..but at least 3/4 of the way haha! 🙂
I love the drive to Palm Springs. I haven’t made it in a few years, but I used to love to go with my parents.
I’d love to do a trip across Canada. But I think I should start small, and explore Vancouver Island first, and then into the Okanagan and Interior. Our province has so much to offer!
I would love to circumnavigate the US and then travel back to Vancouver along the TransCanada.
My ultimate roadtrip would crisscross Canada and the U.S. along the border, visit the Maritimes, down the East Coast, stop in Florida, and continue down too Mexico and S. America. I’d probably want to fly back afterward, though.
a roadtrip to newfoundland, along the trans-canada highway!
I would love to do a cross Canada road trip.
A roadtrip up to Alaska would be great.
My ultimate roadtrip would take me to beautiful BANFF! 🙂
From here to Florida. You really have to work your way through the interesting parts of the US. West Coast and East Coast!
Too many places to list…! For Canadian destinations, I still haven’t made it to Newfoundland so I think a cross-Canada trip all the way there would be in order!
My ultimate roadtrip would be to go across Canada!!!
A great road trip for me..would be a trip to alaska! brrrrrrrrr
Down the coast, through Seattle, Portland, San Fran, LA… 😀
A great road trip for me would be to go along the Trans-Canada highway!
Nova Scotia. Clear across the Trans-Can. 😀
I would drive back to Vancouver Island via Hwy 1!
I would do the crazy roadtrip and do cross canada!!!!
Ohh, road trips. How I love thee.
I went on my “Ultimate Roadtrip” this year, actually. We drove from Vancouver (where else?) to Texas for the State Fair (deep-fried Frito pie anyone?) and back through Las Vegas. Probably can’t beat that but you know I’m going to try.
If all goes as planned, this coming summer I should be heading down the West Coast to California. Portland, San Fransisco, LA, maybe even San Diego and Tijuana if we have time. That’s gonna be great.
If you are ever looking for a somewhat closer road trip destination, I recommend the epic camping beach of San Joseph Bay on Vancouver Island.
The California coast would be my destination.
I would go to Sunpeaks for some skiing!! Then to California for some sunshine.
A few years ago I did a road trip from Montreal to Los Angeles, stayed there for several months, then drove up the coast to Vancouver and after a little trip to Victoria, drove to Newfoundland visiting every Province and almost every major Canadian city (missed out on Saskatoon.) During that mega roadtrip across North America, my car was broken into and my TomTom was stolen…
Now, my ideal road trip would be to complete my Canadian journey and visit the three Territories. I’d love to go visit the communities up there, see the North and experience all of Canada.
Due south to the Baja!
Mine would be California !
Mine would be Alaska !
To new york obviously!!!
Up north to where the sun rises and sets once a year!
Already did the “Ultimate” trip when I was 20 (sooo many years ago!). Down the PC Hwy all the way to Tijuana and back on a Honda 175(!) motorbike, camping under the stars most of the time. Met so many great people and took massive amounts of pictures (on actual film).
My next “Dream” trip will be with my wife, slowly thru the Okanagan, for the wine tastings, and north to Alaska, on the Dempster Hwy. Lookin forward to it.
All the way from the West coast to the East!
San Diego!
I’d LOVE one of those! My ultimate road trip would be to drive down the coast of Washington and Oregon, through to the southern parts of California. I haven’t been there in years, and would love to do the drive again.
My ultimate road trip would be across Canada – North to South, East to West (and not necessarily south only in the winter!). I have spent many years traveling the world and would love to learn more about my own country.
I would travel across Canada. I’ve seen so much of the rest of the world and yet so little of Canada.
Montana! I hear that the thrift stores are rad!
Nothing beats a drive down the Oregon Coast, and down into California 🙂
I’d love to drive down to LA!!
Just the other day my cousin asked where we’d take a road trip to if we had to up and go this la nina winter. I love the drive down the Oregon and northern California coast but have never been further south than San Jose. So I said I’d love to continue on down to the Baja Peninsula!
I need some down time and am actually considering this trip but know I’d waste alot of time due to my navigational skills (or lack of). I’d be going solo so the Tom Tom would be my side kick lol
I think an ultimate road trip would be to follow the Olympic Torch relay, but in reverse (since I’d be starting in Vancouver). 🙂
I’d love to go across Canada. Never been to the east coast!!
I’m new to Vancouver. This thing would help a lot!
I would love to go on a road trip across North America. Through the US one way, through Canada the other. Would be quite the trip!
I would love to do a photo story across Canada, I’ve only been as far as Alberta so I have a lot to see!
I would go to Montreal because my cousin is currently living there and studying at McGill University. It would be great to spend some time with him and see the fabulous sights of the old city. Then, finally, I’ll be able to use my five years of high school French!
My ultimate roadtrip would include Crater Lake, Ore, the Grand Canyon, Chicago, Toronto, Ottawa and then back across the prairies towards home with a stop in Rouleau, Sask.
I would travel cross country! I love this country.
i’d love to see the east coast as well, reaching all the way to newfoundland, i heard it’s REALLLLLY nice there
I would follow the Pan-American Highway from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina… and then back home 🙂
I would like to go down highway 101 to Monterey, California.
Ultimate trip would be down the coast to Highway 1 in California and then back up again. All on small back highways.
I would love to head out to the Alberta badlands with my kids, and take them to the Tyrell Museum, too. They’re just old enough to enjoy that drive as a road trip, and the destination is perfect for them.
i would do a cross america road trip, inspired by “on the road”!
I’ve always wanted to drive down the Oregon coast to Napa Valley. No idea how to get there but a TomTom would help!!!

Ultimate road trip would be completely around the continent. I have family scattered from Cali, to Ontario, to New Hampshire, and all over. Would love to see it all! 🙂
Would love to go across Canada and see the Maritimes and everything in between!
Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). The closest you can get to Antarctica by car, driving from Vancouver.
My husband and I would love to take a road trip across Canada next year. We have been together for 3 years and have never taken a trip together. Having a TomTom will definately help our trip!
Would love to go on one across Canada someday!
I’d love drive up to rocky mountain, banff, jasper, prince george.
I would put it in the Gather and Give van to get home essentials to people in need! Used for all our delivery areas!! Much easier than a map book!

California Wine Country! Drive down the coast from Langley, all the way there. I’m not even really sure where it is, so that’s why I need a GPS!
All the way down the west coast – from Vancouver, through the US, all the way to the Southern tip of the Baja!
My ultimate road trip would be down the west coast to California. And ask anyone – I need a GPS – I got lost getting to work when they closed down the only street that I knew how to get there!

It may not seem “ultimate” but I’d go to High Pairie Alberta to visit my boyfriends family.
I’ve never gone on a trip to any other Canadian cities outside of BC. If I am lucky enough to win this TomTom, I would take my family on a roadtrip to venture different cities in Canada, from the west to the east!
I’d visit as many National Parks in the US as I could in 30 days.
I would visit all the states!
My ultimate road trip would be down to to the Baja Mexico. My husband would ride his Kawasaki W650 motorcycle and I would follow in the comfy van. When it rains we would put the bike in the trailer and drive together! Such a great daydream!

My ultimate trip would start in Vancouver then head east to the Okanagan, then out to the Kootenays and then up to see the Revelstoke, Yoho, Glacier, Banff and Jasper National Parks. Following that I would then drive out to Waterton Lakes NP and into the US to visit Glacier NP. From there it would be out to Yellowstone and Grand Teton Nps and then head east out to the Black Hills of South Dakota and the Badlands. After that I would head south and west to Colorado to Rocky Mountain NP, and down to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP and then out to Silverton and Durango on my way to Mesa Verde NP.

Turning west again I would head out to the Petrified Forest NP and then head south down to Chiricahua NM and onto Bisbee, Tombston and Tucson AZ. Continue north to Sedona and then on to the Grand Canyon, north and south rim. Then it is on to do the portions of the “Grand Circle”, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Arches National Park, Capitol Reef and Great Basin National Park. Then it would be off to California, passing through Lake Tahoe on the way to the San Francisco Bay Area. Following this I would then take Highway 1 all the way down the coast past San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and San Diego. Once in Southern California it would be time to head out to Anza-Borrego State park and to Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Preserve and on to Death Valley. From here we head west to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and then it is up to Yosemite and Mono Lake. From here we head north up to Lassen National park and to Mt. Shasta before heading west out to Eureka and the coast. A short drive south to the “Lost Coast” before heading up the coast to Oregon and the fabulous drive up the coast and over to Portland. Drive from Portland out to the Olympic Peninsula catch the ferry out to Vancouver Island drive up the Island and catch a ferry to Prince Rupert and follow Highway 16 to Prince George and then enjoy the scenery as I drive back home to Vancouver.
