World travel map collectors have long known how nice it is to sit in the comfort of your own home and gaze at the wide world without having to get out of their easy chairs. A world map is a wonderful gift or thing to dream over whether you are a traveler or a dreamer. Everyone has had the experience of first realizing that a map wasnt just a picture or illustration but an actual representation of the wide world. In terms of childhood fantasies, many an explorer, vagabond, or traveler got their start by gazing at the maps which came each month in the National Geographic magazine. For those who are actually on the road, a map can be a priceless item to have in their possession. The best maps offer insights and information about the places that travelers visit such as major sights to see, things of interest, and even restaurants that are worth eating at.

Many government websites use United States maps of counties to show census data (e.g. highest-income counties), geography of recession, employment gains or losses by county, map of bank failures, election results etc. Business websites use interactive maps to show branch offices, sales figures by states, driving directions, traveling route maps, or as store locator, property finder, to improve the easiness of website navigation. With an interactive U.S. map showing all states and counties, visitors can firstly click on a state (e.g. New York, Florida) from the map, see a map with counties within that state. Visitors can then simply roll the mouse cursor over a county on the map and the information about that county will show in a pop up box instantly, with text, images and hyperlinks. Then the visitor can click the links in the tool tip to get further information or redirected to a corresponding page.
The Interest in Old Maps Many people around the world specifically collect antique maps. Old maps have a certain undefinable charm. Maps are a sufficiently commonplace item that even an old world map is still familiar enough to have emotional resonance, but an old world map is still different enough by itself to be interesting. People who are interested in history will automatically become drawn to old maps, which are fascinating historical documents in their own right and can reflect historical geographical divisions. Decorative Ancient Maps Many people hang their ancient maps around their homes or at their offices. Old maps are especially appropriate for educators and people work in academia, given their inherent educational value. They add a certain sophistication to any room, and they can quickly become great conversation pieces.
Map projections are classified based on: Distortion characteristics: Some projections often need to show a particular area or its relative size accurately for distributions or other phenomena. These are called equivalent or an equal area projection. The Lambert Azimuthal projection that maps a sphere to a disk, and accurately shows all regions of the sphere is an example of this category. However, this equal area projection fails to represent angles with accuracy. The Albers projection is another instance of equal area map projection that utilizes two standard parallels. Despite no preservation of scale and shape, the distortion in this case is found to be minimal between the standard parallels.
Very popular antique maps are fetching very high prices at the auction block, because of this many forgeries have appeared as well as numerous copies of these maps. Map reproductions are not worth anything regardless of what the seller tells you. We will give you a few tips to distinguish a fake antique map from a real antique map. First let us talk about copies, forgeries and reproductions of antique maps. Cartographers have copied each others maps for centuries and have improved on them as well. These old maps can be valuable since they were done when the information on them was valid and useful. They are genuine historical documents. However, recent copies of old maps that depict geographical information from centuries past are made with the intent of offering decoration and sometimes historical insight to their buyers. The value of these map reproductions is often marketed to unknowing customers by claiming that the copy is of a rare map or that is was made using some fancy printing technique. The truth is that a copy of a rare map is not rare, it is the original map that is rare. The copy is worthless and the same goes for the fancy printing.
