Whether you are a student, teacher, professor, employee or CEO of a company, an army general or administrative officer, a doctor or an engineer, a financial wizard or just a simple banker, you have to make a presentation at some point. Invariably, a map or geospatial intelligence is an essential part of any presentation today. And why not, with GPS, Google maps and geospatial technology, it has become so easy to relate data to the ground.

The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words holds true for maps in a presentation. Data that may take dozens of slides to represent or explain can be easily put into a single thematic map. But how to do it without any GIS or geographic analysis tools. You can find a correct image by searching the net using Google image search. Sounds easy, but no. There are so many map images available on the net, but can you use them? Maybe not, why? Image may be copyrighted. So why not use images from ShutterStock or a similar website that offers images? Here too you need to purchase a license and spend hours searching for the right map or image to match the theme of your presentation.

So, should I hire a graphic artist to do a custom design for me? If presentation is so important that you can spend hundreds of dollars on a custom map, then that’s fine. But if you want to get the job done with minimal budget and maximum performance, the answer lies in freeform PPT maps that can be edited in PowerPoint software itself. Yes, there is no need to buy an expensive photo editor, all you need are freeform editable maps and manipulate them with a click and selection in the PowerPoint program.

You can download a free Alabama County free form presentation from https://gumroad.com/l/udUA with fully editable content and an easy explanation to adapt the slides to the selected topic. We have spent a lot of time thoroughly tracking all of the counties as freeforms. You can even zoom in on a county’s free form so that it slides all the way in and it will still retain its shape. An image, if enlarged that much, will definitely be broken into pixels and not usable at all. All of these freeform counties can be selected at once and filled with a single color or individually, it all depends on what you want to present.

So use the Alabama Free PPT map however you like for a while, tweak it, play with it and you’ll be so happy that it’s so easy to make your own design in minutes. And if you want all US counties to be freeform editable, let me know.
