IntMap
IntMap in class: free, in the browser, no student accounts
A history and geography map for the classroom: borders from 123,000 BC to today and 166 data layers, each with its source named.
What it costs
IntMap is free to use and is paid for by donations. There is no paid plan today. A paid plan for heavier use of the AI features may come later; what it would include and cost has not been decided, and anything free today stays free.
No student accounts
Everything on the map works without signing in, so no student personal data is needed. Accounts are for people aged 13 and over (Terms §3).
Any device with a browser
Tablets, Chromebooks and PCs with a current browser that supports WebGL. It can also be added to the home screen like an app.
WebGL
The map is drawn with WebGL. A browser or a policy that turns WebGL off shows no map.
Nothing to install
There is no app to distribute and no extension. A link is the whole deployment.
Privacy
No analytics or session-recording service is loaded. IntMap counts anonymous usage itself, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Every outside site the page can contact — 113 of them — is listed with what it is sent, on the security page and in the privacy policy.
Using it in class, in three steps
Choose your unit
The unit map lists the units of the course you teach, each with the maps, tours and quests that fit it.
Open it for the class
Put a map or a classroom tour on the projector, or send students the link. Nothing to install and no student sign-in.
Print, quiz or make your own
Print a worksheet from a tour, give the class a challenge link with the same questions for everyone, or start your own tour from the unit's maps.
