The 'Map of the Dead' is a world map that is must-have in a zombie apocalypse. When zombies attack and resources are scarce, this map will guide one to the places they need to go to survive.
The map was designed with Google Maps, and allows users to find resources all over the world. When zoomed in on a city, one will see little icons pop up that show the location of places like a gun store, a hospital, a grocery store, a radio tower, a gas station and even a dentist. Once one has stocked up on supplies, it might be wise to head to a harbor, an airport or even a campground, all of which are pinpointed on the map.
If the zombies do take over, hopefully the Internet will still be up and running to use this extremely helpful map.
