The mapping method of Wisdom (1982) has been generalized to encompass all n-body problems with a dominant central mass (Wisdom and Holman, 1991). The new mapping method is presented as well as a number of initial applications. These include billion year integrations of the outer planets, a number of 100 million year integrations of the whole solar system, and a systematic survey of test particle stability in the outer solar system.
