Google took maps, directions, and satellite photos and made them hip again – or at least as hip as anything can be on the internet. Google Maps’ easy to use, clickable, zoomable, interface has become popular with travellers and map fetishists, but it has really become attractive to the nerdy type that likes to modify things. You may have seen applications where users can findlow gas prices,find yournearest first-degree murder, or even tracesomeone’s IP address, but now we’ve uncovered the nerdiest application of this map software to date:Dragon Questoverworld maps.
Now you can find your way around your favorite classic 8-bit fantasy world with these four maps from theDragon Quest(Dragon Warriorin the U.S.) series. You can now steer your way around the wosrt baddies and finally find that distant town without having to crawl to the inn with only 1 HP left.
