What it is
Place a big, easy-to-grab pin on the globe or the flat map: natural wonders, famous cities and capitals, then exact points like 30°S, 150°E. A circle shows how close counts, and it gets tighter as you improve. This is a simplified world map made from Natural Earth data. Country borders follow Natural Earth's conventions, and places where people disagree about a border are never used to mark an answer wrong.
What children learn
Builds place knowledge and the latitude/longitude grid: reading lines of latitude and longitude, hemispheres, the Equator and Prime Meridian, and estimating position between grid lines.
What it teaches
- Hemispheres and lines of latitude
- Cities and natural features
- Latitude and longitude

Drag the pin, or tap where it should go, then press Check. Pinch or + and − to zoom. Keyboard: arrow keys move the view, Enter drops the pin in the middle; with the pin focused, arrow keys nudge it (Shift for bigger steps).
Plays with: Touch Mouse Keyboard Pen
