View Larger Map
You can use Google maps to plan a car journey, or (still in Beta) a walking journey. Some countries are not as well maintained as others, but you can make plans to travel through rather a few of them… I guess it depends on how close the roads data is to the towns data?
In the above map I was looking at cycling from Lisbon to Moscow (or vice versa)
- Lisbon to Madrid: 628
- Madrid to Barcelona: 619
- Barcelona to Marseille: 506
- Marseille to Genova: 398
- Genova to Trieste: 536 (Though I was looking at Rijeka, Croatia (further distance, but no google directions)
- Trieste to Vienna: 556
- Vienna to Warsaw: 722
- Warsaw to Minsk …
- … Moscow??
Unfortunately Google gets a little lost in the old Soviet Union it seems. Perhaps that is a US directive, as I am sure most of the software engineers in the world are Russian? Actually, I’ve never met one, what are all those Russian computer science graduates doing?
Update: I think I’ve found the perfect site to piss off my girlfriend: Crazy guy on a bike! I think it’s pretty obvious what this site is about… worth a look if you are planning an insane human powered journey.
