Show HN: Map for Game of Thrones
We’ve updated Map for Game of Thrones with a lot of features since its launch, 2 years ago. In addition to the app’s staple feature, TV show recap, the user can now also review all 5 books in a similar, interactive manner.
You can now step through all the scenes/chapters of any TV episode or book and enjoy:
- a short summary of the scene/chapter
- full description or synopsis
- list of characters in the respective scene/chapter
- the location on the interactive map
- the full transcript (for episodes)
The app is also a handy Game of Thrones lore companion. You can search and browse through detailed information of 600+ locations and 1200+ unique characters.
For Season 8, we will be updating the app after each new episode.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

There are a number of websites which provide this sort of features, but they don't work well on mobile. The initial idea was to have a map on a tablet so you can use it while watching the TV Show.
But we haven't yet implemented that feature - a sort of "live" minimap to show you where the action takes place, while watching an episode. :)
