Map App

The  printed boundaries, lines and dots told stories  of the world of exploration,  voyages, invasions on the Blue planet, Earth.The seas, the oceans, mountains and rivers, the blowing of winds and the flowing  of currents had been marked and displayed by the swift hands and meticulous  minds of the cartographers.  With the changing stories  of the world, physical or political,the lines and the dots shifted, adjusted  and even disappeared. The rooms of the defense and political  masters, colleges  and schools  possessed  wall size maps. Maps had been a proud possession  of the young and the old. After few decades of technology  the views and visuals have changed. The maps today are an integration  of time , speed, space and direction  with innumerable possibilities,  permutations and combinations. The stills of map have got motion, speed and direction. The Apps, the google, the clicks,  the buttons  have shrunk the world of our good  old maps.
