Creating a landscape in the sandbox can feel pretty abstract without any real-world reference. But not with Online Maps. Pick any place on earth and recreate it in the sand. Learn about the topography of your immediate surroundings and explore remote locations. Internet connection required. This mode works well with the Interactive Map for added educational value.
Interaction
Dig and pile up the sand to try and recreate the shape of the area shown. Switch between different types of maps to better understand the landscape. Try different locations around the world.
