Could you have overlays of borders or rivers or state capitals then chidren could draw in the main features and then check with the overlay. Fantastic resource, very easy to scroll around map.

I'll look at changing the zoom level of the map or providing an alternative. Its a bit of a trade off between detail and quantity, sometimes people want one rather than the other. As for the Europe inset. It's there because the only suitable free map I could find was this one and it has that feature. I must say I quite like it as it allows the detail of capital cities in the inset but keeps the main world map clear. I can understand, though, that it could confuse some children. I'd like to incude a detailed scrollable map for all the continents butI have yet to find any modern maps of a suitable resolution that are freely available.

Also, why is Europe an insert under Africa?
