JigsawGeo vs Map the World

JigsawGeo plays on a real, spinnable 3-D globe, and version 3.2 adds a passport to fill with stamps from every place you find. No more flat Mercator map stretching Greenland to the size of Africa. Countries sit at their true size, true shape, and true distance apart, exactly as they do on the planet. Spin the globe, zoom in, and put the world back together. Drag a puzzle piece to where you think it belongs, or just double-tap the spot. Beat the clock, earn a high score, and learn world geography without it ever feeling like studying. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Free to download with two complete maps included. Every other map is a one-time in-app purchase: never a subscription, never an advertisement. Safe to hand to a kid.
