Here’s an impressive Route 66 project that was posted a few days ago using the new My Maps feature from Google Maps.
Jay Crim and Shekar Davarya drove Route 66 in 2002 with multimedia equipment.
On video, they interviewed Mother Road personalities such as Michael Wallis, David Knudson, Ken Turmel, Bob Waldmire, Jerry McClanahan, Angel Delgadillo, Jim Ross and others.
The My Maps feature also contains dozens of photos the couple shot during their trip.
It’s all linked together with a map of the United States that pinpoints where the interviews and photos took place, shown in the screen capture above. As usual with the Google Maps program, you can zoom in on specific locations.
You could easily spend an afternoon surfing around the site.
How very cool! Looks like a fun lunchtime activity. đ
