I'm about to move into a new place after backpacking for half a year and I have a feeling I'm going to buying some IKEA stuffs. I now feel compelled to have this open on my phone while walking around a store.

Selected the map of all 320 places and Google gives an error, "Maps can't find http://lar5.com/ikea/dictg4w6k5c6.kml"

Not a big deal; giving feedback in case original author posted this.

"Billy" is actually a play on the word "billig", meaning "cheap".

You can also import a KML file as a layer in a "My Maps" custom map, here's the result:

Stuva means to stow. Kallax is a swedish village.

Kallax is the airport by Luleå.

Stuva is swedish for "pack" or "stuff".

I'm the author. Weird to see this pop up :)

This is ~7 years old. It was pretty complete then, but IKEA keep coming out with new products.

The map link used to work... I assume Google Maps has changed its query interface since then.

OP here. Your page recently popped up on “Present /&/ Correct”: http://blog.presentandcorrect.com/ikea-dictionary

I thought giving it some visibility could help fill in some of the missing entries.
