In summer 2014, two friends and I bought a 1.1-liter Suzuki Alto on eBay UK, and proceeded to drive it from England to Mongolia. I mapped it.

The 3D map is powered by WebGL, a rendering engine that works best in Webkit-based desktop browsers (Chrome and Safari). However, I’ve also created alternate versions of this story optimized for non-Webkit browsers, tablets, and mobile phones.
