Review: Map of the Dead is the Newest Survival Necessity

My first choice in the zombie apocalypse? To have a car full of weapons experts, doctors, survivalists, etc. But in the likely chance that that doesn't happen, and my car is, instead, packed with my husband, cats, and sarcastic friends, I'm pretty sure that this website, mapofthedead.com, will be the key to my survival.

Map of the Dead resembles a t-virus infected Google maps. Just type in your location or have the website locate you through the big brother powers of the internet, and this website will map valuable locations around you: grocery stores, hardware stores, camping goods stores, police stations, harbors, and hospitals (to only name a few). Need a gun store in rural Virginia? This website can help. Trying to avoid cemetaries of newly risen corpses in Denver? No problem.

Now, of course, this website sort of assumes that the internet wouldn't be the first victim of the zombie apocalypse. I have an iPhone, so I think I can safely assume that my phone battery would be among the first casualties of the end of the world. Still, it's a fun idea. My only other complaint is that this website is by no means comprehensive. They seem to be missing many convenience stores, and they've identified independent grocery stores but not many of the mainstream companies like Dominick's and Jewel...at least not in my area.

Still, check this website out and begin planning your survival strategy!
