One of the most frequent requests that I get at the GA is for a site that can produce simple outline maps of counties that you can then customise for your own use. That is now possible thanks to the appearance of Step Map . Have spent part of today making a guide to using this website, and am discovering even more features as I work through it. Has a whole host of weather symbols, so could make a weather map... There are also options to choose a whole range of maps in different colours, with outlines, shading and backgrounds. You can even choose to have an image as the background to the map: your face in the shape of a country of your choosing, or a map to show a person or item that is associated with a country. Other symbols include sets of arrows in various directions and (like Google Earth) custom icons can also be used Some example to follow perhaps... Give it a go...
