64 national parks. Fills shown are examples.

Every place properly showcased

True-to-shape maps let big places shout and small ones disappear. Hexplore gives every place the same tile, right where you'd expect to find it.

True to shape

Small places are too small to see, let alone hold a photo.
Big places get many times the room of small ones, so they drown out the rest.
Odd outlines crop photos badly.
Big empty places make the map look unfinished, and small visited ones barely register.
Labeling is a puzzle: small places need callout lines, and every map puts its names somewhere different.

Same shape, true place

Every place is the same hexagon, with the same room and the same weight.
Each tile sits where its place does, next to its neighbors, so the map still reads true.
Photos fill every tile cleanly, and you can move and zoom each one.
Progress is easy to read at a glance, made for tracking where you have been.
Every tile has room for its label in the same spot, so names are easy to add and always where you expect.

Questions about this map

On a real map, small national parks shrink to a speck while large ones take over the page. A hexagon for each national park gives every place the same room, so a trip to a small one shows up as clearly as a trip to a big one.
