I thought I would post a few satellite images to correct the Yonahp account of Kim Jong-il’s funeral procession (it is a tad incorrect).

Here is the actual funeral procession route which I mapped out on Google Earth while watching this two-hour documentary on the event (it is amazing what you will watch when jet lagged!):
Here is some clarification on specific parts of the route:
1. It started and ended at Kumsusan Memorial Palace.
2. The motorcade turned at Jonsung Square across the street from the Fatherland Liberation War Museum:
3. The procession passed by the Monument to the Party Founding:
4. The procession entered Kim Il-sung square from the North, circled it, then continued south for appx four more blocks before turning around and again passing Kim Il-sung square on its way to the Arch of Triumph:
Have a good weekend!
