Places Quoted in Shakespeare in Google Earth
Now you can look at the places quoted in Shakespeare (85 placemarks). Someone named "H21" from France posted the placemarks 
at the Google Earth Community and it has been a very popular post. The author must be a literature professor as he purposely left off a few places and challenged people to find the missing quoted places. One of the Google Earth team members added a custom placemark which has a picture of Shakespeare.
I predict many other literature maps will be ported over to Google Earth as well. This is an excellent application of mapping technology. A few weeks ago I wrote about a similar application where the locations of "The Lord of the Rings" movie scenes were shot.

Fascinating, and a great, useful accomplishment!
Could you possibly add the Forest of Arden? Supposedly near Startford; Shake's wife was Mary Arden; and the Forest of Arden is the site of As You Like It.

I just stumbled upon this fascinating website today. I am just beginning to explore it. What does "reged" mean in the contributors' descriptions? How can I find other literature-related maps?
