Around the world in 3,305 Google Maps screenshots
Watch Next

Forget that around-the-world ticket, instead sit back and see the world in hyperlapse in just over two minutes.

Graphic designer and video maker Matteo Archondis used only Google Maps and Earth screenshots -- 3,305 of them to be exact -- to smoothly take the viewer on a long-distance trip.

The journey starts from his country of Italy to Big Ben in London to Christ the Redeemer in Brazil to the fog-enshrined Golden Gate Bridge and other American landmarks, like Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon and more.

Sure makes packing easy.
