Solar eclipse maps 2017: all the resources you need to plan a trip
Only those standing in the right place will experience a Total Solar Eclipse on August 21
It’s a sad fact that many Americans will misunderstand this eclipse and will not be in the right place on August 21. Don’t be one of them. With these maps and guides you can make sure you’re standing between the northern and southern limits of the Path of Totality. That’s within the Moon’s shadow – as it crosses the U.S. on Monday, 2017 August 21 through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Get as close as you can to the center of the Path of Totality to enjoy the maximum duration of totality.
Here are the maps you need to plan your Eclipse 2017 road-trip:

4 – Xavier Jubier’s Interactive Google Maps: these maps are wonderfully easy to use and let you check the duration of totality with the Path of Totality (and the % of partial eclipse), though be careful – it uses Universal Time, not local time.
