Layers that show Europe and the rest of the Post-WWII and during and after the Cold War would be utilized frequently. Also, European colonialism in Africa would be well used.

I want to create a new world map consisting of a number of large area maps with sides ranging from 2,000 miles to 4,200 miles and outer edge distortion of less than 5 percent. The polar areas would be from 60 to 90 degrees latitude for a total arc of 60 degrees. I've defined ten continental and subcontinental area for land areas 5 ocean areas. Mercator won't do. A Google earth screen shot gives a good flat image from directly above an area of interest, but lacks longitude latitude lines and has poor labels.

Being able to print particular sections of the world is difficult because I can't manually adjust the Screenshot.

Is there a way that I could show UNESCO Heritage sites? I am especially interested in the Spanish speaking world.
Thank you so much,

Making a SmartBoard plugin to operate within SmartNotebook14 efficiently, like being able to pin to the toolbar, would be a huge asset.

The Mercator map projection isn´t necessarily the best choice for most social studies maps. An equal area map like the Hobo Dyer or Peters may be a better choice.

Blank regional maps with surrounded areas shaded compatible for map testing.

When I zoom in one level on the map of the United States, several cities appear, including Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver, and New York. But I can determine no reason why Denver is present when Philadelphia is not. Many cities are larger than Denver and Minneapolis--Philadelphia has more than double the population of Denver. Why not select cities to appear in order by population or area? For that matter, why don't the state capitals appear first?

Students and teachers need to be able to annotate their maps.

You need more historical maps to make this worth my while . . . e.g. railroad maps, slave routes, Missouri Compromise etc.

It would also be nice to be able to turn on/off features like rivers, capitals

Thanks,

Rick

Your map only has primary and secondary economic activities displayed. Tertiary/service sector jobs would be a nice addition.

Add a tool to allow students to measure distances between two points in miles and kilometers.

Add Arrow options to the drawing tools

Add geography and history games that students can play on the site

Show current news articles on top of the different countries and US states that are targeted towards students of different reading levels.

Add more drawing tools like a freehand tool and more icons that can be placed on the maps

Show historic country borders of the world for different years so I can show students how they change over time.
