What Westeros would look like in Apple Maps

Let’s just leave aside the obvious Apple Maps jokes and focus on how cool this Etsy user’s Westeros map is.

It’s the continent where the war, sex and epic political conniving takes place in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, made to look like a modern map you might find on your iPhone or Mac.

How cool is that?

I have only seen Game of Thrones, the television show based on Martin’s books, so my concept of Westeros’ geographical layout is spotty at best. But this map really helps me visualize where the heck everything is.

There’s Westeros and The North (cleverly named, that one). I’m trying to zoom in and see where The Wall is, exactly, but not succeeding. I’m assuming it’s there.

If you have a spare $21, you just might want to order yourself this modern map, made to look like an electronic one, printed out on dead trees and framed. Just right for your geeky man-cave, right?
