Overview of Joe's Route

Hi, I'm Pijus, Joe's web facilitator. Besides posting our intrepid wanderer's messages here (as him), I'll be bringing a bit of added-value content in my own name. Mostly, I intend to track Joe's route via various cartographical tools. To wit, below is a Google-Earth-stretching attempt to squeeze all of the itinerary described in the first post into a single cylindrical projection of the Eastern hemisphere [click on globe for slightly larger image]. You may be interested to know that according a very rough tally, Joe will cover 16,237km (10,083m); that's certainly an understatement of the true distance.
