Here's a listing of all the live Google maps I've created for The Temple Guy (so far).
How to Use the Map Controls:
- Use + /- or mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
- Click to close the hand to move around.
- (The two functions above are accomplished with two fingers on mobile devices.)
- Click the square-with-arrow on the left to open or close the index of sites. (Works better if you zoom in first.)
- Click the three-dot thingy to share the map with others.
- Click the "four corners" in the upper right to go to the full map
JAPAN
Four big pilgrimages, lots of small ones, and a very long walk

CHINA
There's a strange little quirk when we consult Google Maps in China. The Map version and Satellite versions are not in sync; that is, when you change from Map to Satellite, you'll have to cast about for the proper location, usually within a half-mile (or a kilometer), but it could be in any direction, depending on how that particular area is (un)synced. Throughout The Temple Guy, I use the Map coordinates; those who wish to see a "bird's-eye view" of the sites will have to compensate. (As a consolation prize, I'll usually put a screenshot of the Satellite view in the main article about each temple, along with the "inaccurate" Satellite coordinates. Copyright be damned!)

Rambling around Asia...
- Temples and Old Churches in the Philippines: The presence of the Chinese has led to many Buddhist and Daoist/folk temples; Spanish-era Catholic churches are spread throughout the country.
