A book called “360 Degrees Longitude” is about a family of four who decided to spend a year traveling around the world. The book documents their journey – but, I’m especially intrigued by their use of the Internet, maps, and Google Earth to help people follow the places they went, and view the pictures they took.
The book was released last month, and is available from Amazon. But, the maps and Google Earth file 
are available from their web site. The Google Earth file shows their somewhat convoluted route, and contains lots of placemarks with snippets of information about each location and photos. It’s actually quite entertaining to read about the trip with Google Earth, but the book adds a lot of detail to their experiences. The book’s web site has a lot of other supporting content including Google Maps mashups.
I actually wrote about this file when they first promoted it back in March – but, they had a different name for the book then (the old name probably had some marketing problems).
