I've just finished reading On the Road this afternoon.
And I went home to find a map that can make me understand the book clear.
I found one at Wikipedia but it's to small and no placenames on it.
But I've met the great.
I'm installing Google Earth.
Thanks from Beijing,China.Sorry for my jumbled English.

If Google Map can save the map as a PDF file,it will be wonderful.Then I will print it to a piece of large paper,so that I can know where Sal is when I read On the Road.
Without the map,I don't even know Chicago is close to the Great Lakes,...

Hey Thestral, if you read this again, check out the Google Earth file. I have updated it to include the whole journey -- the only things that are missing are the links to the blog posts on the places I haven't blogged yet. I'm glad I could help you visualize the book!

Mike,I've got the email from you,with amused surprise.

I am looking into Neal's San Francisco house in Google Earth,and I've find the trolley!It's Amazing.

I'm reading On the Road for the second time,I want to finish the second time in this 7-day Holiday.
Now,Sal is standing on the top of the mountain that is close to Mill Valley,and he will meet Terry.

The US is really distant,but maybe,I will really travel the route,wow.

What a Great work which you are working at.
