PowerPointMaps.com

This is another option for adding a map to a presentation. Reviewing the PowerPointMaps.com website virtually every country/region is represented.

The site offers 2 types of downloads; free and premium. To download a free version you need to register first. I downloaded a few free maps to review the quality. Unfortunately the free version is unusable as it is a flat .jpg image with the website name watermarked across the middle. Here is one of my free map download of the United States, which has an ad for the premium version with a .jpg of the map (I added the red outline to highlight the .jpg)

The premium maps are vector based with each state/region as separate elements which is very usable. Each premium map is 49euros (approx. $66 U.S.) and is definitely a premium price. You can search for “map” to find reviews of other options.

Free PPT Templates at templateswise.com

Templateswise.com has a variety PowerPoint templates that are all easily previewed and free.

The template designs I viewed are professional and fresh designs. Each has a variety of slide background options. My sample has 4 background options.

But the templates are not true templates. There is a big difference between a nice slide and a full featured template that has master slide formatting, custom color scheme, and more. The files downloaded do not have any master slide formatting…

One nice feature is the download includes the .pot and large 1600x1200px .jpg’s of each background.

Also, the templates I downloaded are PowerPoint 2003 .pot files.
