THE PREMIER IPAD ATLAS - with RETINA VECTOR MAPS

The World HD: An In-depth Review

The World HD stands out among similar apps in the store due to its comprehensive collection of country maps and expansive world fact book. Unlike other atlases that only show country locations, or fact books that provide limited maps, The World HD offers a unique combination of both, allowing users to delve into a wealth of information while easily locating countries.


How It Works

The interface of The World HD is notable for its animated and interactive nature. Users can touch a country on the world map, which opens up a Retina vector country map accompanied by a factbook sliding onto the screen. The factbook is organized into neatly arranged tiles along the edge of the map. Touching a factbook tile zooms in on it, providing detailed information pertaining to that topic. Conversely, if users are unsure about the location of a country, they can select it from the drop-down list, prompting The World HD to zoom in on it and open up both the map and factbook.

The zoomable world map is not only an efficient way to select countries but also enables users to visualize and understand entire regions. Its intuitive interface makes exploration effortless and once you start, it's hard to stop!


Features

  • Retina Vector Maps: The World HD includes high-resolution Retina vector maps for every country, ensuring even the smallest details are clear. These maps stand apart from those found in traditional factbooks as they are specifically used in printed atlases.
  • Extensive Information: Geopolitical and demographic information on 300 countries and regions is included in The World HD, offering a comprehensive understanding of different nations.
  • No Internet Connection Required: With the exception of live Wikipedia content, all data and maps are built into the app, eliminating the need for an internet connection.
  • Innovative Fact Book Panel: The fact book is presented as tiles, allowing for quick navigation and easy access to information while keeping the country map in view.
  • Highly Animated Interface: The interface of The World HD responds to touches and gestures, enabling users to swiftly find the information they seek.
  • CIA World Factbook: For every country, The World HD provides comprehensive sections on introduction, geography, people, economy, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues using the trusted CIA World Factbook as a resource.
  • Wikipedia: Live, community-written Wikipedia content is available within the app for each country, island, and remote region.
  • Showcases Country Locations: Unsure of a country's location? Simply select it from the country list in The World HD, and it will zoom in on the world map while opening the Fact Book Panel.
  • Optimized for iPad & iPhone: The World HD thoughtfully utilizes the entire screen to present maps and data, ensuring an optimal experience on both devices.

With its wide range of features and intuitive interface, The World HD is truly a premier iPad atlas experience that cannot be found elsewhere. Its combination of detailed maps, extensive information, and user-friendly design sets it apart from others in its category. Whether one seeks information on specific countries or desires to explore regions on a global scale, The World HD provides an unparalleled resource right at your fingertips.
