Interactive Google Map of Stores I've Visited Since 1/1/24

For reference, I've created this Google Map to mark stops on what I refer to as my #globalindiebookcrawl.
A few notes:
- 2024 shops appear in blue; 2025 appear in green; 2026 tbd.
- To keep the map less cluttered, I do not mark repeat visits across the years.
- As much as possible, I've marked the stores in the places where I visited them.
- Some have moved
- Some have gone out of business, or are in the process of going out of business.
- I don't know at this point if Google will remove the markers as addresses update.
I hope that's helpful. If you see a shop you'd like reviewed, let me know, and I'll see about getting it into the queue--which may require me reading the book I got there, if I did.
Also, I'd be grateful for your thoughts about a certain "Ship of Theseus" problem: I visited the westernmost bookstore in the U.S., Talk Story Bookstore on Kauai when it was in the town of Hanapepe. About 6 months later, it moved further west to Kaumakani. So, have I visited the westernmost bookstore in the U.S.? Mahalo!
