World History Maps: The World, by World History Maps Inc, is a new and unique way of looking at history. Instead of an historical atlas which has maps showing the world (or a region) at a few significant years, or maps that try to compress decades or even centuries of change on to one map, we offer a different approach. Our interactive historical maps show the entire world for every single year in recorded history. This is an unprecedented amount of detail in time for the whole world that cannot be found anywhere else. The scalable maps allow even the smallest countries to be shown. Looking at History in this detail gives one a unique perspective. These are also the first historical maps to be made using GIS technology. Maps show countries of the world at the beginning of each year, with Major Tribes and Peoples. Maps are Scaleable and zoomable with popup information. Scrolling forward and backward is available with adjustable speeds. Maps can be pinned so you can toggle back and forth to compare different years. Following below are more details about how to use the apps.
Latest reviews of World History Maps: The World app for iPhone and iPad
I have always wanted a way to see a map of the world change through time. This app nails it!
the World by World History Maps is a fun and educational app. The navigation is very intuitive, even for an old guy like me. What I liked most about it is the perspective of change through the years. How gradual, yet profound. Loved the slider button on the bottom that shows a movie of the border changes throughout the years. Also instructive is the click for more information. When watching the Tour de France and a cyclist form Eritrea won the polka dot jersey, I was able to tell my know it all co-worker when Eritrea became a country!
Just wish that I would have had this app when I taught history. Just cannot stop using.
