The Bible vs Google Maps

BibleMap.org

Pick any chapter in the Bible, and click on the link under any place name. You will instantly be transported to an overhead view of the location today, courtesy of Google Maps. If you click on the red pushpin in this mashup, you can read a description of the place and maybe see some photos.

While the project is still officially in Beta mode, the Events link shows a lot of promise. It currently tracks St. Paul's three missionary journeys from the book of Acts, but hopefully they will add more Bible events in the future.
