The World in Catalan
Virtual globe showing the ICGC’s “The World” planisphere with toponymy in Catalan
The World in Catalan is a virtual globe based on the planisphere "El món", the world map in Catalan published by the ICGC that can be purchased in the e-shop, either in the three-sheet version at a scale of 1:15,000,000 or in the single-sheet version at a scale of 1:22,000,000.
Beyond the effort in the actual cartographic creation of the map, this product is meant to collect the place names that appear labeled spelled exclusively in Catalan, when there is a version in Catalan. For the rest of the place names that do not have a traditional Catalan version, the local form has been respected, adapted to the Catalan spelling, in order to facilitate reading for a reader in our language.
This virtual globe allows you to consult the spelling, in Catalan, of the 6,940 place names it contains, explore world geography on a small scale (teaching geography) or link a specific location in your diary, travel blog or wherever you consider.
