If you’re a long-distance biker and are looking to do some high-level route planning, you want maps. Lots of maps. Big maps. Maps you can download and print-out or use Photoshop, Paint or GIMP to scribble all over. The sort of maps you see on blogs like [theadventuresofboz.blogspot.com] [www.geocities.com] [www.crypticide.com]

In fact, you want the Perry-Castñeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas which is a fantastic resource covering prettymuch the entire world, plus historical mappings and links to other sites.

Go, browse, dream, plan, enjoy. [www.lib.utexas.edu]
