The Schoolhouse Antipodes Map


One of my favorite Google Maps of all fourth dimension is Ze Frank's Earth Sandwich. Anyone who has e'er looked at a map or a globe has wondered at some fourth dimension what province lies at the contrary halt of the public from their home.

Ze Frank's map allowed y'all to midpoint a map on your place together with reveal what is on the other side of the footing on some other map. Ze Frank's map no longer plant precisely y'all tin straight off role the Antipodes Spain/New Zealand School Map instead.

In fact the Antipodes Spain/New Zealand map allows y'all to create much to a greater extent than instead - if y'all alive inward Espana or New Zealand. Anitpodes maps are disappointing for virtually people roughly the public - every bit virtually people reveal that their anitpode is truly inward the sea or an ocean.

The Spain/New Zealand School Map takes payoff of this to endeavor together with foster partnerships betwixt schoolchildren from each country. Enter a Castilian or New Zealand schoolhouse advert into the map together with y'all tin reveal the schoolhouse which is their nearest antipode. The map fifty-fifty provides the address of the schoolhouse on the other side of the public together with thus that the kids tin mail letters to their counterparts across the world.

If y'all don't alive inward Espana or New Zealand y'all tin notwithstanding role the map to reveal your antipode.
