DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game World Map.
WorldMap is a simple Android app that displays a map of the world taken from Wikimedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Physical_Political_World_Map.jpg), and allows the user to scroll around on it.
The map itself is quite large (6480,3888), so it's way too big to fit in memory all at once (6480 x 3888 x 32 / 8) = 100,776,960 -- over 96 megs. The VM heap size Android supports is eith 16 or 24 megs, so we can't fit the whole thing in memory at once.
So WorldMap uses the BitmapRegionDecoder API (available as of API 10) to decode just what it needs to display.
WorldMap is open source, and the source code is here: https://github.com/johnnylambada/WorldMap
Enjoy with UptoPlay the online game World Map.

Decent, a map and nothing more. The countries and continents are sized to their proper dimensions however. Africa far outstrips Greenland for example. But aside from major cities and political boundaries, don't expect anything else from this app.
Decent description of the world.. but not as detailed as most but still it gives you the brief example of most countries locations. Still could be more descriptive.
Not too bad for getting a general idea of where things are but not enough detail and way too grainy of an image to be of much real use.
I'm not a phone or computer person but I do like to look at the world map I like how easy it is to use I like to be able to pull up the roads and I like to be able to see the buildings the roads it's been very helpful even in the area which I live some of the functions I can't use very well but that's because I'm not a phone or computer savvy person other than that I think it's a good app
This is amazing, I've always wanted to know more about geography. Only complaint is that the font is a little dark for being able to see."
