There is the Westeros map in the Game of Thrones books and then there is this interpretation of George R.R. Martin's rich world. So incredibly diverse and full of detail, it's only natural people would have a hard time keeping track of people and places. By converting the original Westeros map in [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-map-ai-enhancements-google-maps-update-brings-aipowered-exploration), this fantasy world become much easier to follow.

Created by [Reddit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wplace) user selvag, the [Google Westeros map](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-maps-builder) is made as a print to be hung in the home of any fan. Granted, that fan would have to have an appreciation of something a lot more modern than what the author dreamed up at first. But this Westeros map twist is not only creative, but also clever and useful.
