An interesting website that is somewhat narrow in it's application, MAPfrappe lets users create outlines one one "map" and compare it to a second location around the world. The app automatically compensates for the slight size distortions at different latitudes which come out of how Google displays it's maps
MAPfrappe could be useful to share with a class studying Canada, or as a way to give students a direct sense of scale when discussing different countries around the world.
