Stumbled upon this cool GoogleMaps entry of Slocom’s circumnavigation. 100+ waypoints and excerpts at each from the book:

More impressively, it can also be viewed in GoogleEarth http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=1201250 (click the link at the top of the post that reads "View in GoogleEarth") - requires download of GoogleEarth (http://pack.google.com/intl/en/integrated_eula.html?hl=en&ciint=ci_earth&ci_earth=onciint=ci_earth&utm_source=en-cdr-earth4&utm_medium=cdr&utm_campaign=en) , but if you don’t have it, it is a very cool, free program.
 
 
Note: there are also GoogleEarth versions out there for a fee - newer features and commercial applications, etc. Let me know if the above link doesn't point you to the free one. Looks right from here, but...

That's going to take some study but it looks pretty cool :)
