And here is a video tutorial about WonderMaps.

 

It didn’t take much time at all to find my way around this software and make use of it in our schooling!  It’s been a big help for our SOTW studies and of course with ds3’s states study.  Having WonderMaps keeps me from searching the internet for just the right map…I can make my own, to fit our specific lesson.

WonderMaps is available from the Bright Ideas Website for $49.95 (as just a download or download and cd.)

I was given a download of WonderMaps software to facilitate this review.  I received no further compensation.  To see other TOS Crewmember reviews of this product, click on the banner below.
