Mapping the Shopping expedition becomes difficult due to the fact that most of this section of the book takes place in the "matrix" or the "sprawl." While Molly recieves the shopping list she enters e spawl to buy the items and Case is abke to see what she is viewing ghrough simstim.

Before entering the spawn, in chapter 3, Case recalls making trips around the world. "He remembered Amsterdam, another room, in the Old City section of the Centrum, buildings centuries old." So the reader now knows from the text they are no longer just in Japan, non longer soley in Chiba City. They speak of traveling to Denmark, Paris, and Italy on shopping trips.

At the end of chapter 6 Armitage calls case and says "We're going to Istanbul."

 When Case and they crew make a trip to Zion, the story becomes much more interesting. Zion is some artificial world with zero gravity in space. In order to go to the city of Zion, Zion meaning "holy place" you must travel through space. Zion is in inhabited by Rastafarian's who built the city over the last 30 years.

Mapping this city is interesting as well and very challenging. The reader must make a lot of infrences when referring to the city because one is not entirely sure of how it looks. We know that there is zero gravity and the city seems to be built inside a bubble, or dome of some sorts. The city is pulsating with music at all times, a religious/ ceremonial music that runs through the "freefall corridor." The freefall corridor is a section of the city, in the center that has zero gravity and is filled with ropes and tubes to climb through with.

Another interesting city where Case and the crew visits is the "Rue Jules Verne." This is an artificial city, made from light and image projections. The sky isn't real, the sunlight is unreal, the sounds aren't real, the foliage, plants, flowers, and water all all computer generated images. "He knew that sunlight was pumped into Lado-Acheson system who two-millimeter armature ran the length of the spindle, that they generated a rotating library of sky effects around it..."

Rue Jules Vern is described as a resort spot, a place where the wealthy come to get tan and enjoy the computer generated sun. Hang gliders and hotel rooftops provide the atmosphere along with meadows, waterfalls, and beaches.
