Would be nice if lesson plans included standard map areas for printing...customizing is nice but would be handier to look for a map of a specific continent or hemisphere for quick print - both outline and more detailed outline

It would be great to see the Fertile Crescent and Ancient Egypt. I don't really care about modern Egypt - they aren't really that important. It would make a great addition to any curricula.

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?

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

Give each map a compass rose and a legend. Also, expanded drawing tools (particularly a circle and color choices) would make these maps much more flexible for teacher use. It would also be helpful if you would allow the importation of jpeg/gif images in the layers.

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

Add Arrow options to the drawing tools

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

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,

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

I would like to be able to search for rivers.

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

I would love to see Contour Maps for science class to look at elevation. Not sure if this is possible, but it's so hard to find good contour line maps online.

Thanks

Although I can search for Canadian provinces and territories and U.S.states, I cannot search for Canada or the U.S.as countries toget the big picture.

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

Students who are using chromebooks cannot scroll down when in the world atlas.

Especially in U.S. History, it would be valuable to be able to type a year in U.S. History, and see a layer of a historical map for each year.

Why does this atlas not have a thorough set of maps? The entire middle east is missing. There is only one map for China. Why are these missing? Clearly RM has plenty of great maps they could use.

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