I found it interesting today playing around with Google Maps.

They allow you to chart a walking route between Toronto and Kingston. They take you everywhere but the 401 highway, of course, but they suggest you give it the better part of two and a half days.

As an aside, I'm entirely grateful for their TTC (public transit) integration. That's the stuff. Give them two addresses and a departure or arrival time, and bam! It even works between municipalities/systems.

EDIT: I just tried a search for Los Angeles to Honolulu. Apparently they recommend driving through Seattle and then kayaking out the Salish Sea.
