Ideas for a map of Central America
Central America is a small map with plenty of uses: a travel route, a sales plan, a volunteer project, a geography assignment. This one opens with its seven countries drawn and ready to colour, and the countries around them in grey, so you can start on the colours straight away.
A route through seven countries
A trip overland is a common use. Pin each stop with the city search, join the pins with a route and number the stops; switch the plane icon on only for a flight. A PNG of the result sits well in a travel blog or a family itinerary.
Plans and projects
A company can colour the countries by stage: where it sells, where it is opening and where it has not started. An aid or volunteer organisation can mark the countries where a project runs and add a legend with the project's name. With only seven countries, each one can have its own colour, so a class can colour them all and show the names for a revision sheet or a wall display.
In the editor
Pick a colour in the bar on the map and click a country; click it again to clear it. Neighbours shows or hides the grey countries around the seven. Choose Customise this map to carry on in the editor, where the place list names all seven and Add your cities opens the pin tool with the city search ready. Vintage gives a route a travel-poster look, and Minimal keeps a sales slide quiet.
For slides and the wider picture
For a slide, set the canvas to 16:9, keep to a few colours and paste the map with Copy image; the map for PowerPoint page has more on maps in decks. To show where the seven sit on the continents, start from the map of the Americas. For a version to print, there is a printable map of Central America.
