VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - When the rubber hits the road, what is the one thing Canadians can't live without? A new survey reveals this bit of information just in time for road trip season.

With another long weekend approaching and a new poll shows we wouldn't get anywhere without our GPS. The new poll for Globe Drive, conducted by Harris Decima, shows almost 40 per cent of us say we won't back out of the driveway without our helpful navigation system.

While snacks and games are important too, we need some good tunes if we're going to get behind the wheel for an extended drive.

Also as road trips are traditions for many of us, the survey asked drivers how far they'd be willing to drive this summer. In B.C., about a third of us would be willing to drive coast to coast.
