BTW, Santa Teresa doesn't exist. I believe it is a fictionalized Santa Barbara.

I'm from Denmark, and I can see that some of the locations in Babitix's message 140 isn't cities. For ex..."

I have to tell you that i got REALLY lost on this book. There are so many characters that we don't use in Brazil! So I took a note about everything LOL

Pauline - Thank you so much! Yes! I think we will be able to do that quite easily using the table feature already built into Google Maps. :D

Katie - Just so I can be sure I've added your locations correctly... are Lower East Side and East Village separate locations that should be mapped or are you saying that the CBGB's at 315 Bowery and Tompkins Square Park in Alphabet City are the places that should be mapped.

[Stacey]

Emm,

Sorry for the confusion.

You noted my recent add as Area X, but the title of the book is Annihilation. The location should be noted as: Area X,Southern Reach.

The star appears on Key West, but I'd put it off the tip of Florida (past the Everglades), instead. Think it makes more sense for this story.

Thanks! Again, my apologies for not clarifying this better :))
