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.

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?
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.
