Welcome to the MapMaker Interactive
This tutorial explains how to explore National Geographic Education's interactive GIS mapping tool and tools for customizing outline maps for print.
Use the zoom bar to go from a world view to a local view (or in cartographic terms, from a large scale to a small scale). If you zoom out to a world view, you will see that the map is in a Mercator projection.
Use the location menus at the top to zoom from a world view to a continent, country, or other region.
Identify your geographic position on the map using the latitude and longitude display at the bottom left. The latitude and longitude values change as you pan around the map.
Switch between different styles of base maps including a custom layer from National Geographic, satellite, terrain, and topographic views.
Using the 1-Page base map, click on a continent, country, or state to load the corresponding MapMaker 1-Page map.
The tabs on the left offer different tools for working with the map: themes, drawing tools, and markers. Open and close the tabs by clicking the arrows.
Use the transparency scroll bar to change the transparency of map layers. This is a useful tool when you are viewing more than one layer at a time and want to explore relationships between layers.
Notice that not all layers can be viewed at every zoom level. Some map layers will become unavailable when you zoom in to a large scale.
Use the Drawing Tools tab to access tools that allow you to draw lines and shapes and add labels to your map.
Use the Markers tab to find markers that you can drag and drop on the map. You can adjust the marker size to meet your needs.
The measure tool lets you measure distances on the map in either miles or kilometers. Select the tool, click once on the map and move your mouse. Click again and the distance value will appear along your line segment. Keep clicking and panning to measure additional segments and the total distance will display at the end of your line, by the cursor. Double-click to finish and select the arrow tool when you are done measuring.
You can download your map as either an image file to include in a report or presentation or as an XML file that you can re-open. The XML file type is helpful if you are creating a custom map and want to come back to it to work on later.

"Seorang yang bodoh berpikir dirinya bijaksana, tetapi seorang yang bijaksana mengetahui bahwa dirinya bodoh"
__William Shakespare__
The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
__Abraham Lincoln__
I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph
__Theodore Rosevelt__
"Gantungkan cita-cita mu setinggi langit! Bermimpilah setinggi langit. Jika engkau jatuh, engkau akan jatuh di antara bintang-bintang."
__Soekarno__
