WAY COOL!

Posted by Kendra — 5 April 2008 @ 5:38 am

Good point – it seems to have merged with Argentina.

I’ll get Jon to chnage it when he gets a chance.

Posted by admin — 17 April 2008 @ 11:10 pm

Are there pushpins without the shadow? I like the shadow, but wanted pushpins also without. Thanks!

Posted by willis — 30 April 2008 @ 7:18 pm

Willis

Good idea.

I’ll get Jon to take off the shadow.

wow, thats a good effort from you guys, solved my problems

I’ve having difficulty opening the file. The rest of the files on other pages of the site seem to open without any difficulty. Any chances the file has become corrupt or am I doing something wrong?

Posted by Rizwan — 10 May 2008 @ 2:56 pm

There don’t seem to be any problems. I was able to download it with no difficulty.

You may need to reinstall PowerPoint.

Also at a quick glance there is no Swaziland nor Lesotho.

Posted by Bonnie — 28 May 2008 @ 5:39 pm

[...] These are maps of individual countries with separate images of drawing pins. The vector maps include France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland and the UK and more. With these templates you can insert the “pins” into places of interest and then label them as you wish. These can be used in PowerPoint slides, in web pages and blogs, or anywhere else where they may be helpful. At the moment we have maps of most European countries, also we have free editable PowerPoint maps of North America and now editable world maps. [...]

Geeeeeeeenius! You realise there are people charging $250 for this sort of thing? I love you guys for making it free! I’m an impoverished student so if I hadn’t found this I’d have had many hours with felt tip pens and a scanner to look forward to…

Posted by Fiona — 10 July 2008 @ 12:44 am

OMG! This is wonderful! Thanks for making this resource free!

Posted by Aquacool — 14 July 2008 @ 11:06 am

I would love to be able to use this ppt slide for my World Geo support class, these are low readers, but it doesn’t want to open for me because two of the frames are not showing up.
Can you tell me if there is another route into the slides? Thanks. The other world things you are are fabulous and I think you. Makes my job so much easeir.

It seems to open fine. Perhaps you just need to try it on another machine.

Posted by admin — 17 July 2008 @ 12:51 pm

when I downloaded this map, powerpoint couldn’t read it. the other maps opened just fine.

Posted by Mercy — 19 July 2008 @ 3:57 pm

This map can’t be downloaded. I tried several times and it states it has an error. How can I get this powerpoint template?

Posted by Jazmin Murillo — 22 July 2008 @ 8:43 pm

I am also still having huge difficulty downloading. I tried advice of another machine. I could not download it, but I did get it to open and then tried to save it that way. No such luck. While it is an awesome prop, it doesn’t like to download. Thanks for the others though, I can’t wait to use the Europe maps with their flags like your example.

Posted by Chris — 23 July 2008 @ 3:39 pm

Thank you for this well-done free resource! I will definitely check back here again.

Posted by Gazie — 23 July 2008 @ 11:30 pm

Hi guys I just tried again and had no problems downloading and opening the file. It has been saved in PowerPoint 2003 format.

It sounds like you have been opening it OK, but have problems downloading it. In your browser you can save it with File > Save As.

Any other problems and it may be better using the firefox browser.

Posted by admin — 26 July 2008 @ 7:21 am

We plan to work on the maps in the next couple of weeks.

Anybody else have any ideas of how they can be improved?

Posted by admin — 4 September 2008 @ 1:36 pm

This map is great, thank you so much for it.

Posted by May — 4 September 2008 @ 2:53 pm

Hello,

Your map looks great. Please, could you tell if it needs a copyright or something?

Thanks,

Posted by ML — 5 November 2008 @ 2:38 am

This is very cool, but Malawi & Thailand are not quite accurate – they are combining with other countries.

Thank you very much! You’ve done huge work. Finnaly I’ve found exactly what I needed.

Posted by Mariya — 19 November 2008 @ 10:09 am

Thanks. You said “tell us how you are using it”. I am preparing a presentation to show my boss how many hardware servers we have in the world and the different locations.

My point is that my budget is acceptable because there are so few servers in so many different countries that I have to use a lot of different vendors! And it costs more when I have to use that approach.

Posted by Tricia — 22 November 2008 @ 2:46 pm

Thanks for the map, greatly appreciated. Will be used for a business presentation to open up students eyes to worldwide career possibilities !

Posted by Alex S — 10 December 2008 @ 8:45 am

Hi, this is amazing, thank you! How did you do it?

As you asked for improvement possibilities, I found that the Middle East/African Region could need an update. Several countries (especially the small ones) are missing or were merged with others:
- Israel
- Lebanon
- Qatar
- Bahrain
- Swasiland
- Lesotho
- Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi & Zambia are shown as 1 country

Best regards!

Posted by Thomas — 10 December 2008 @ 6:25 pm

I found another 2 missing countries: Kuwait and Malawi!

Posted by Thomas — 10 December 2008 @ 8:41 pm

Awesome Map.
Exactly what I needed.
I created missing countries by copying & editing points for a rough estimate.

Posted by Kevin — 16 December 2008 @ 7:15 pm

Thanks from teachers everywhere!!!!!

Posted by T — 17 December 2008 @ 7:54 pm

I noticed someone already posted that the Middle East and other areas still need work. Any idea when that might be accomplished.

Posted by Middle East Etc — 9 January 2009 @ 9:41 pm

This is awsome! I’ve looked everywhere for something like this.

Posted by Rome — 10 January 2009 @ 12:09 am

I love this map, but I’ve found that the shadows of the push pins don’t print. Can anyone help?

Posted by Patrice — 13 January 2009 @ 5:53 pm

thank you very much, this is super helpful

Posted by juan — 20 January 2009 @ 11:58 am

Wow – thanks guys, this’ll help me millions!

I’m going to use this in Excel in an VBA automated report to show where our revenue is coming from.

To do this I need to give each country a name that reflects what it is, so that I can change it’s colour via visual basic. I’ll try post the link back here if I remember.

Thanks again!

Posted by WOW — 28 January 2009 @ 3:01 pm

Great map, but some countries in Africa seem to have merged… can these be updated too?

Posted by Angie — 11 February 2009 @ 1:54 pm

this site is very helpful!

Posted by eizay — 12 February 2009 @ 12:07 pm

Angie

Do you know which African countries have been merged?

Posted by admin — 13 February 2009 @ 10:38 am

Lifesavers! Nice one. Couldn’t import from anything however I tried, so you’re map inside Powerpoint is a real boost. Many thanks for you time to get this converted, and the free download is brilliant. CHEERS. Thanks again.

Posted by NealW — 18 February 2009 @ 11:57 am

How can you change the colors on the map/indivdual countries?

hi guys, i like the map of the world with individual countries and loads of pins but when i try and put a pin on a country it goes beneath it (the country) and in dragging it out i usually manage to drag out several continents ats well!
it is a real nuisance. any tips? please try and answer sap.
thanks again

Posted by Anonymous — 8 June 2009 @ 7:39 pm

Select a Pin and then select

Draw > Order > Bring to Front

This shoudl make the pins on the top level.

The draw menu is normally located on the bottom left of the workspace.

Posted by saadia — 19 June 2009 @ 12:31 pm

This is really cool!!

I have a suggestion. I will be great if the map could display the name of the countries whichever is highlighted by color.

Posted by MM — 6 July 2009 @ 12:35 pm

Thank you! Its simply great. Will use to create educational material on world history.

Posted by Anjoo Chandiramani — 7 July 2009 @ 1:37 pm

This is such a great idea! But I would like it if it were more detailed and if you could make separate continents. Oh and also you didn’t make Antarctica. But this is so cool, I’ve been looking for something like this for ages and all of them are like 300 dollars! But this is FREE! You’d be mad not to think this is a great idea!

Posted by Zooloo — 8 July 2009 @ 8:35 am

but how can I enlarge it???

Posted by Momo — 17 October 2009 @ 1:20 pm

To enlarge just click on the object and pull the corner handle (normally a circle).

If there are multiple objects you will need to slect these and group them first.

Thank you for providing the tools to get my job done. I made the mistake of wasting 20 minutes on the Microsoft template website looking for something like this, don’t know why I bothered.
My boss wanted me to color a world map before he left work today which gave me 2 hours. Now I am a savior, great website I will surely be passing it along to other admins.

like others have mentioned, it would be very useful to have names for the countries – not on the map, but the drawing objects should be named after the country (now they are named “freeform xxx”) so that they can be selected easily with “select multiple objects” button

Posted by Simos — 25 February 2010 @ 3:07 pm

nice to have such a good map, thank u

Posted by Mehmet — 2 March 2010 @ 3:52 pm

Hi!

I downloaded the map and use it for a business presentation. I guess highlighting countries is the main use case for this template. I used it to highlight countries my company is currently selling a product to (and we are a very global business). It worked great, but I would like to share my feedback to make it even better:
- middle east: Countries as Israel and Lebanon are missing.
- central Asia: Even large countries as Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan are missing…
- South East Asia: Border between Malaysia and Indonesia is missing, region not a well made as the others.

Thanks again for the great template!

Chris

Posted by Chris — 15 March 2010 @ 1:36 pm

Thank you for this! This is awesome! It took me forever to find a downloadable map that can be used for presentations and allows me to highlight world countries.

Posted by Robin — 23 March 2010 @ 4:44 pm

Excellent! Thanks a lot for making this available – big help!
Was wondering how you did the pins? I like the shaddow – especially that it keeps the underlying colour. How do you do that??? I’d like to do some shaddows of other ‘objects’ myself – but need some help on how this can be done.
Thanks. Ulrich

Posted by Ulrich — 27 July 2010 @ 7:59 am

Cooooool! Wow. This is a map file what I wanted. Thank U.

Posted by Sue — 17 August 2010 @ 7:15 am

Great job! However, could you edit the countries so that they all have their individual borders?

E.g. look at Brazil and Colombia – missing lines. Furthermore, Chile is just a larger area underneath Argentina. I would need just Chile’s outline for example.

Thanks!
