What is The True Size Of?

The app provides an interactive platform for users to explore the true physical size of countries and regions on a world map. Designed to address the distortions inherent in traditional map projections, this digital tool empowers users to accurately visualize the relative scale of landmasses across the globe

Highlights

• Accurate Representation: Overcomes the limitations of common map projections, such as the Mercator projection, which can significantly misrepresent the true size of countries, especially those near the poles
• Interactive Exploration: Allows users to select and compare the sizes of different countries, regions, or landmasses by dragging and resizing them on the map
• Educational Insights: Designed to help educators and students gain a more accurate understanding of the world's geography and the relative scale of various regions
• Customizable Overlays: Provides the ability to overlay additional geographic information, such as political boundaries or population density, to further enhance the understanding of spatial relationships.
