Google Maps Go to Azeroth

If any further proof were needed of the fading line between real and virtual, here comes a story about Google Maps moving beyond the tangible:

The fictional continent of Azeroth in the World of Warcraft now has an area that uses Google Maps API. The map, if we may add, is amazingly accurate. Accordingly, there are over 15,000 data points covering 69 resources with their exact map location in the WoW database.

I can't wait for the virtual mashups.
