Political Map of the World

The map above is a political map of the world centered on Europe and Africa. It shows the location of most of the world's countries and includes their names where space allows.
Representing a round earth on a flat map requires some distortion of the geographic features no matter how the map is done. We have used a Mercator projection for this map because it is the projection most commonly used in schools. On this map, geographic boundaries that trend north-south appear as vertical lines, geographic boundaries that trend east-west appear as horizontal lines. This type of projection causes a minimum of country-shape distortion near the equator, a small amount of distortion at mid-latitudes, but extreme distortion near the poles. For that reason, the map does not extend to the north and south poles.

 

Physical Map of the World

Shown above
The map shown here is a terrain relief image of the world with the boundaries of major countries shown as white lines. It includes the names of the world's oceans and the names of major bays, gulfs, and seas. Lowest elevations are shown as a dark green color with a gradient from green to dark brown to gray as elevation increases. This allows the major mountain ranges and lowlands to be clearly visible.

This map is also a Mercator projection centered on Europe and Africa. A scale of miles is not shown on these maps because the scale changes with distance north and south of the equator. Scale is highly exaggerated as distance from the equator increases.

Welcome To Map Developers. Map Developers provides prebuilt google maps functionality, along with custom built implementations made to your specifications. Some of our prebuilt functionality such as our store locator, and user generated map, can be found on our site, while others can be made available to you if they are closely related to the project you want built. We look forward to working with you to make your mashup both profitable and affortable Services Mapping Software Free Trial We have teamed up with Maptive to provide a free 10 day trial of their mapping software that takes a spreadsheet of address data and delivers a fully functional web based map that can take your map to the next level. You can make a complex radius map, boundaries made out of zip codes, and much more. read more Map Tools Have us integrate our prebuilt functionality such as the area and distance calculator into your website. Currently this includes all of our free map tools and the store locator with the associated admin functionality. This will grow to include many other maps. If you want our current functionality go to our contact us page Custom Google Maps Let us create a custom google maps mashup for you. Go to the contact us page and send us your mashup idea. Conversion to Google Maps V3 Version 2 of the google maps javascript api is being depricated May 19, 2013. If your application uses this version of the code it will no longer work at that time and will need to be updated.
