TrueWorld Maps: Country Facts app analytics for December 18

Drag countries around to see their true size. You may be surprised! Is Greenland really as big as South America? Because the Earth is a sphere, it's impossible to show it perfectly on a flat map. This means all maps are distorted. With this simple app, you can compare countries and see their actual sizes. Just search or tap and hold on the country you'd like to explore. You can then move it around the map and watch it change size as it moves closer to or farther from the equator. You'll also learn interesting facts about each place. This is a great tool for teachers, kids, and anyone interested in geography. Disclaimer regarding politics and disputed territories: The primary purpose of this app is to provide an understanding of the relative sizes of countries. It is not intended to accurately reflect national boundaries or current political statuses. We apologize for any political inaccuracies that may exist now or in the future as territorial boundaries change.
