50 states & DC. 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 states shrink to a speck while large ones take over the page. A hexagon for each state gives every place the same room, so a trip to a small one shows up as clearly as a trip to a big one.

51. Each tile is one hexagon, placed where you'd expect it.
