Map Stack allows educators, students, or anyone fascinated by maps to create exquisitely tailored cartographic images via a web-based click interface. The tool uses a system very close to the classic Photoshop platform of layers and palettes, allowing users to design their own maps without having to know any code, install software, or even do any typing. Layers are created using roads, labels, backgrounds, and even satellite imagery. In addition, the maps can be tweaked and fine-tuned with different colors, opacity, brightness, and other visuals. Best of all, the site makes sharing completed images via Pinterest and Tumblr quite easy. While learning the ins and outs of the site can take a little while, the results are more than worth it.
