Overlap Maps

Click here
This website will allow you to compare the size of two global objects with each other.  You can compare the size of two countries with each other by overlapping the smaller on top of the larger.  You could overlap a new country you are studying with something familiar like Ontario or you could compare lakes etc.  Not only could this be used in Geography but maybe in History when looking at a battle or war.

I decided to compare the country of Ukraine to the province of Ontario.  To do this, I selected "Overlap this" and chose "Ukraine".  I then selected "....onto this!" and selected "Canada" and "Ontario".  Here is the result that I received by clicking the green arrow.
