Which map should you study? The Géocartie catalogue

Continents, countries of the world, Europe, France, Germany, Spain, the United States: the catalogue sorts every map by continent and by country, with a preview before you start.

Which map should you study first?

Géocartie has around fifteen maps, ranging from the simplest (the continents) to the most demanding (countries of the world). The All maps page brings them all together and lets you choose in a matter of seconds.

The Géocartie catalogue: maps sorted by continent then by country, with a large preview of the hovered map on the right.

Organized like the world itself

The catalogue follows three levels: the world, then each continent, then each country.

Every destination shows the actual shape of the map, not a generic image: what you see in the thumbnail is exactly what you'll play. Hover over an entry — or tab to it with the keyboard — and the preview appears enlarged next to the list, so you can recognize a map before you even read its name.

The navigation follows the same logic

The navigation bar mirrors this same hierarchy. Wherever you are on the site, it shows where in the world you currently are and lets you drill down into a country or move back up to a continent without going through the home page.

Menus now open on click rather than on hover: they no longer disappear the moment your mouse strays, and they work with the keyboard just like any other menu — arrow keys, Enter, Escape to close. Every menu ends with an All maps link that takes you back to the catalogue.

Where to start, in practice

Three entry points depending on your level:

  • Just starting out? → The continents. Six territories, five minutes, and the basic structure of the world is in place.
  • Want something solid? → Countries of Europe. Big enough to stay interesting, familiar enough not to discourage you.
  • Want to break a sweat? → Countries of the world.

🎯 Keep your progress. With a free account, your scores are saved from one session to the next: you can see what you've improved instead of starting from scratch every time.
