The World HD for Android

11 things about The World HD

1. These enable it to answer questions which Atlases and fact books cannot: Atlases show you where countries are located, but have very little information about them; fact books tell you about each country, but their maps leave you guessing about where places are located.

2. Touch a country on the world map and the Retina vector country map opens while the factbook slides onto the screen, each topic neatly organized as tiles along the edge of the map.

3. ** Includes high-resolution Retina vector maps for EVERY COUNTRY built-in! Unlike the other atlases, these maps remain in focus at all magnifications so you can easily see even the smallest detail.

4. The World HD is unique in the app store because it includes both a complete set of country maps AND the largest world fact book.

5. ** This trusted source of current country information is built-in for every country, including sections on: introduction, geography, people, economy, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues.

6. Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the drop-down list and The World HD zooms in on it then opens the map and factbook.

7. ** Presents each section of the fact book as tiles enabling you to quickly find what you need, while keeping the country map in view.

8. The zoomable world map is not just the fastest way to select a country it also enables you to visualize and understand entire regions.

9. ** View the live, community-written Wikipedia content for each country, island, and remote region within the app.

10. Touch a factbook tile and it zooms out to reveal detailed information about that topic.

11. These aren't the CIA maps found in the factbooks, they are used in printed atlases.
