I collect Maps of the World in a Dropbox folder, and tell Windows auto rotate to use this folder. So I see a different perspective or interpretation of "The World" every 10 minutes.

Some are just regions - USA, Europe, China, etc. Most are actual maps - places listed by Google searches or names translated from their native tongue, etc. A few are visualizations of the tallest mountains or longest rivers.

Ah, xearth! http://hewgill.com/xearth/original/

It inspired many clones. I used to run osxplanet but it seems long since defunct too: http://www.osxplanet.com

That reminds me — I need to get my hands on some scans of these older maps! https://www.wired.com/2013/08/prelinger-library-rare-maps/?p...

That's super cool; would you mind sharing your folder?
