As part of Geography Awareness Week, the National Geographic Society (NGS) and Esri, a global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, have launched the reimagined National Geographic MapMaker.

The new MapMaker allows users to layer maps, add notes and sketches to maps, and save images for use in papers, presentations, or other applications.

It uses the latest in GIS software to connect classrooms and individuals with essential geographic information and technology for exploration and education.
