eduMap provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Includes multiple maps, high scores and different playing modes.
Always wanted to learn the location of each African country? How about capitals of U.S. states? Maybe you never had a chance to learn all the names of all independent European nations since 1991?
The eduMap widget provides a fun way to learn the location of countries, states and capitals. Select either a full continent or a subsection of countries, then be quizzed on their locations. In the default mode, just hover over a country or state and discover its name, capital, area and population.
Different quiz modes are available to help you lean in a variety of ways. High scores are recorded on your system, based on percentage correct and completion time. 100% SVG based, so you can resize the widget to whatever size is preferred without any quality loss.
Currently Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the USA are available. More maps may be added in the future.
Optional languages are English, Russian and Finnish.
- Added flag for Taiwan (though not official) - Fixed El Salvador flag - Fixed Serbia flag - Fixed Sao Tome and Príncipe - Fixed location->flag errors for certain Asian countries - Fixed Kazakhstan's information - Fixed New Zealand flag aspect ratio
I have fixed all the recent bugs mentioned in these comments, not including the additional countries. I may choose to do so in at a future date, but it takes quite a bit of extra work to do, so I've just done the real bugs for now.
Expect the next version up here in the next few days. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for all the (positive and negative) feedback!
@Rijk A Dutch translation would be great, thanks in advance!
Only oddity I came across so far is that Malta isn't on the map of Europe! And Vatican City should probably be listed as well, since it's a sovereign city state.
Congratulations, that's a great tool for knowledge and memory training!
I have just found some bugs: - the flag of taiwan does not display - on the Asia map, while playing "location to flag", widget reports "wrong" on Russia, Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and Kazakhstan even on good answer. And that's frustrating because this is already diffuclt enougth to remember :-)
Nice widget. A few things I noticed: - The nation of Bahrain is missing. - New Zealand's flag is showing at an incorrect ratio (should be 2x1) - Sao Tome and Príncipe is incorrect! You have swapped it with the Equatorial Guinnean island of "Bioko".
This widget is very great!!! I've never been able to remember where are which country (excepte for a few...). My progress are very important. Now when I read the name of a country in a newspaper, I'm able to see whre it is. Just a suggestion : the association flags <-> countries, would be an interesting direction of development.... Thank you very much for this good piece of software!
I understand there's quite the controversy on the subject, and will rename the country to "Republic of Macedonia" in my next update, until a more official name has been agreed on. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Once you click on the drop down arrow, you should just be able to click on the language that appears in the list to proceed. I agree that there should probably be a button to be clicked after that to conform with common interfaces.
I just tried this and it gets stuck on the language-select screen in Opera/9.24 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; en) with Java installed. I'm clicking around the black space hoping to find any section that might function as OK or Go. I have already tried 'enter' and 'return' and double-clicking the ellipse in the thought bubble and the language selection drop-down list.
I haven't tried this yet, but do you realise that each nation and state have a capital, not a "capitol"? That spelling is exclusively used for one building in Washington DC.
Whoops, I forgot to update the version number in last update. So it'll say 2.0 despite actually being 2.1.
@skulldyvan - Thanks! 1. Yeah, I noticed it do that on some versions of Opera I tried, it works fine on others. I'll see if it's something I can fix somehow. 2. Good point, thanks for the suggestion. 3. Hmm, I think it's really taking the last flag it loaded from any previous map, and displays it. Thanks for noticing that. (Note that US state flags are intentionally absent)
