The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Data - World Shorelines @ 1:5,000,000 (Marplot)

World Shorelines@1:5,000,000

I'm known as the "Mapman" teacher. Just this week my students worked on maps of Japan and Asia. The outline maps were made using Marplot loaded with 1:5,000,000 scale world shorelines. Any Social Studies teacher would love to work with Marplot and world shorelines.

All you teachers, listen up. You need to create your own map machine. The slideshow is a "How To" fetch map files, load them and create layers. If you really want to create your own map machine, you must first prep Marplot after you have installed it. Delete the Prince William County layers and then start with the slideshow instructions. Good luck. Enjoy!
