Description of The World HD

THE PREMIER IPAD ATLAS - with RETINA VECTOR MAPS The World HD is unique in the app store because it includes both a complete set of country maps AND the largest world fact book. These enable it to answer questions which Atlases and fact books cannot: Atlases show you where countries are located, but have very little information about them; fact books tell you about each country, but their maps leave you guessing about where places are located. ___________ HOW IT WORKS ___________ The interface is animated and interactive. Touch a country on the world map and the Retina vector country map opens while the factbook slides onto the screen, each topic neatly organized as tiles along the edge of the map. Touch a factbook tile and it zooms out to reveal detailed information about that topic. Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the drop-down list and The World HD zooms in on it then opens the map and factbook. The zoomable world map is not just the fastest way to select a country it also enables you to visualize and understand entire regions. It is so intuitive and easy to explore that once you get started it's hard to stop! ___________ FEATURES ___________ RETINA VECTOR MAPS ** Includes high-resolution Retina vector maps for EVERY COUNTRY built-in! Unlike the other atlases, these maps remain in focus at all magnifications so you can easily see even the smallest detail. These aren't the CIA maps found in the factbooks, they are used in printed atlases. MORE INFORMATION ** Contains geopolitical and demographic information on 300 countries and regions. NO INTERNET CONNECTION is required ** Except for live Wikipedia content, all data and maps are built-in INNOVATIVE FACT BOOK PANEL ** Presents each section of the fact book as tiles enabling you to quickly find what you need, while keeping the country map in view. HIGHLY ANIMATED INTERFACE ** Responds to your touches and gestures so you can quickly find the information you are looking for. CIA WORLD FACTBOOK ** This trusted source of current country information is built-in for every country, including sections on: introduction, geography, people, economy, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues. WIKIPEDIA ** View the live, community-written Wikipedia content for each country, island, and remote region within the app. SHOWS YOU where countries are located ** Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the country list and The World zooms to it on the world map and opens the Fact Book Panel DESIGNED FOR YOUR IPAD & IPHONE ** Thoughtfully uses the whole screen to present maps and data

Reviews of The World HD

Leave a Review The World HD
  • Disappointing

    You don’t continuously scroll like spinning a globe. This is just like a paper map with edges. The whole zoom thing really doesn’t work like it was described. The font doesn’t even resize. If you want additional zoom, you have to pick a specific country.
  • Missing Key

    There doesn’t seem to be a key as to what various symbols mean.
  • Map needs updating

    The app is relatively good at what it does, and more convenient on the iPad than some alternatives. The rendering of the maps seems generally rather good, however there seem to be some inconsistencies especially with the political maps. (For instance, the states of Mexico are sharply demarcated but not the states of Australia or Germany or the provinces of Canada.)

    In addition, the map presently seems to have some outdated information, for instance “Mount McKinley” in Alaska instead of the correct and official name, Denali; also, it draws the International Date Line through, rather than around, the nation of Kiribati.
