New Route Map

I've created a new interactive route map using the Google Maps API. You can zoom in and out to view satellite photos of any point between Sheffield and Shanghai. The resolution varies depending on the location; London, Moscow and Beijing have really very impressive detail, you could if you wanted to count the number of people in Tianenmen Square on whatever date it was the pictures were taken. If you zoom into St.Pancras Station (which will be easy to do on the interactive itinerary - Coming Soon!), you can see that the photos are a few years old, as there is no sign of work on the station extension for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link that is nearing completion.
If you click on the markers, you will see a description of that point below the map. I'll probably add more markers over the coming days.
Note - the Google Maps site can be very slow.
