About World Map

WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays a map of the world taken from Wikimedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg), and allows the user to scroll around on it.

The map itself is quite large (6480,3888), so it's way too big to fit in memory all at once (6480 x 3888 x 32 / 8) = 100,776,960 -- over 96 megs. The VM heap size Android supports is eith 16 or 24 megs, so we can't fit the whole thing in memory at once.

So WorldMap uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of API 10) to decode just what it needs to display.

WorldMap is open source, and the source code is here: https://github.com/johnnylambada/WorldMap

I just need a world map as a quick reference. Sometimes, i read newspapers or magazines. When, they mention countries that i don't know their location. I wan't a quick reference. I like this one for simple and very colorful. Thanks!

Zoom is not actually zoom just blurred pixels. Many countries' borders are not updated. Countries with Wrong borders. Just waste of time n data.

First of all graphics is not good and takes some time to clear out when zoom in. Not much data given in the map. But i can search easily and anywhere by this map.

I was hoping for a globe so I could get an idea of the size of places in perspective. It's just a flat map and has very few landmarks. Also scrolling round is not very accurate.

Map of INDIA is wrong.. Kashmir is not shown in India... Strongly suggest to give attentions to the issues like this and fix it asap ....

by M####:

It's the lack of specificity that makes it special. Other maps are inundated with extraneous details. I like the simplicity of this one.

Just a medium resolution photo that's it. Developers wake up.

J70%
by J####:

Remarkably Isle of Man shown yet divisions between England, Scotland and Wales are all blurred together as UK. Not very educational or informative.

M70%
by M####:

Please make the names of countries darker or the colours lighter.. Little difficult to read the names and find the place immediately. Other than that very nice :-)

V70%

An upgrade with an optional online version that shows more locations on zooming in wud be great. I still go with 5 stars just cos there's no other app with such a clear image .

Worst map ever..... Don't waste your time to download it

by M####:

When you move at all the picture goes unviewable and if you zoom at all you can't make out writing very bad app

M70%
by M####:

Its just a high definition picture of world map posted as an app. I do not recommend it unless you want just a glimpse of some places. Would have been much better if the app had a rotation option around the globe while scrolling.

Why are Israel and Jordan of the same colour? They are two different countries

E70%

Ok app but lots of information missing My country Scotland and capital city Edinburgh missing There must be lots more info missing.

A70%
by A####:

It isn't so much an "app" as it is a image of a map. You can download a an image of a map and view it in gallery. There is no searching, very few major cities, the only borders are country borders (no states/provinces, erc.). If I download a JPEG of a world map, I can save it on my SD card, but the latest versions of android won't let you move apps to the SD card. There just isn't enough value, for me anyway, here to waste internal storage on this app.
