Shadow forwarded along two interesting map links. The first is Texas overlaid on a few different countries: http://imgur.com/gallery/Mbz5JJe
But the second lets you trace an outline, and then projection corrects it for other places. This lets you do the "how big really is Alaska compared to Texas?" visually (about 2x by square miles). http://mapfrappe.com/?show=14243

For an eye-opener play with that outline program and Africa a bit.

You missed the 2nd link. http://mapfrappe.com/?show=14243
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
