World Map Description

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

The map i wanted
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!

nice!
it's nice and i think it's great that it's open source. i am new to android and i tried tu use this but i have a problem when i try to import this project. i can't seem to find libs.R. can you help me?

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

Thanks
Great staff for school children for their Geography easy for beginners intermediates and seniors in school great staff. Basic simple easy to scroll not need to carry a big world map around YOU HAVE DONE IT ALL. STUDENTS DOWN LOAD FOR YOUR GEOGRAPHICAL LESSON. HURA. I gave 5 star and I will like to give additional 5.

Keep in mind

Not worth downloading
Map doesn't have any search button and images aren't so clear. Only thing one can do is find a country, but what about cities , mountains, rivers etc??

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

Stupid app
Want to give 0 stars... But unfortunately there is no option for that. Only a image for world map for which i downloaded 5 mb for an simple map image and which is not even clear.

Wrong information! Missed whole countries. .. unreliable
Don't waste your time. Look for something more descent.

Hell lot of mistakes in the India map.
Kashmir region has been messed up. This has to be corrected ASAP. Kindly get the correct map from either India or USA.
