Someone made Game of Thrones into a Google map, and it's amazing

By Andrew Prokop Updated
Andrew Prokop is a senior politics correspondent at Vox, covering the White House, elections, and political scandals and investigations. He’s worked at Vox since the site’s launch in 2014, and before that, he worked as a research assistant at the New Yorker’s Washington, DC, bureau.

Have you pored over the map in the famous Game of Thrones opening credit sequence too many times? Well, Redditor selvag has created a new map of George R. R. Martin's fictional world of Westeros — in the style of Google Maps.

Google Map Westeros

Appropriately for a Google Map, roads get a lot of emphasis here. You can follow the Kingsroad down from Winterfell to King's Landing, like Ned Stark did back in season one, while also checking out the less familiar traffic arteries that connect the rest of the Seven Kingdoms.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.

Yes, I'll give $5/month
