North: 60º (Helsinki, Finland)

South: 54º (Ushuaia, Argentina)

West: 99º (Mexico DF, Mexico)

East: 108º (Da nang, Vietnam)

EDIT: Actually the farther west I've been was Mexico DF, not Guatemala City. And in regards to the South I don't really remember the exact location of the fiords in Chile, It's possible I was to the south of Ushuaia but I'm not sure.

Okay before you guys will ramble on with the whole "Thailand is East-er than Connecticut, blah blah, blah" instead of being boring to say Chang Mai is my southernmost and easternmost place, I'm gonna do it continental-wise.... Oh, and flying doesn't count... If it did, then the International Date Line is the farthest east and west... Tongue

North: 43N (Niagara Falls, NY and ON)
South: 18N (Chang Mai, Thailand)
East: 73W (Darien, CT)
West: 118W (LAX, Los Angeles, CA)

In terms of where I've been on land:

North: 53 N (Manchester, UK)
South: 43 S (Hobart, Tas, Australia)
East: 175 E (Auckland, NZ, though if you exclude airport layovers, then 153 E (Gold Coast, Qld, Australia)
West: 123 W (Victoria, BC)

Of course, measuring it like this is kind of problematic.  Note that I said "on land".  The farthest north I've actually been would have to be when I was in a plane, presumably either on a Philadelphia-Manchester flight that I made in 2007, or the London-Chicago flight in 2011.  Because of the mapping of great circles onto the globe, those intercontinental flights take you farther north than either the departure or destination city.

And of course, trying to define east-west is arbitrary, since I've crossed the International Dateline by plane many times.  When I go back to the US, I do it by going east, not west.  So in that sense, it's kind of strange to say that I've never been west of Victoria.

East: Zutphen, Neltherlands (6 12' E)
South: Danville, Virginia (36 35' N)
West: Esquimalt, British Columbia (123 24' W)

Here's my daughter (turning 3 on Friday):

E: Blackburn Hamlet, Ontario (75 33' W)
N: North Bay, Ontario (46 18' N)
W: Restoule, Ontario (79 43' W)
S: Bancroft, Ontario (45 05' N)

She's been to Quebec maybe 4-5 times, but only as far as Wakefield (N) and Aylmer (W).

And transatlantic flyers' northernmost spot would be pretty damn far north.
