The Africa Maps are accompanied with graphical elements you can use to make your presentation more interesting – such as handdrawn arrows and various pins.

Check our recent blog, where we share a few ideas on how you can create a good-looking map slide.

Why use the Africa template set?

Some common problems you can face while searching for various industry sectors images are:

• Hard to find a whole blank map or pull out a particular state out of it
• The inconsistent look of slides if you use several resources
• Unclear legal rights for using the map templates from the Internet, e.g. author attribution is needed, or templates are only for non-commercial private use.
• Maps may not be editable in PowerPoint
• Images of lower visual quality (distorted edges)

With our infoDiagram Maps of African Countries set, we address all those issues.  Check the example slides below.

There are dozens of slides and presentations where you can apply maps for better visualization. Here are few variants of using maps together with some icons.

Show certain countries

If you need to present certain countries on the African map, here’s a design tip how you can easily do it: distinguish them by color or flags and arrows.

Present countries on the world map

Show African countries on the world map. You can add icons or flags if needed.

Add pins and flags to indicate a place

If you want to outline a particular city, region or show the time difference a good idea is to use icons, which can be easily edited. You can change size and color and add a flag or symbol, which will characterize the main activity of a city.

Draw transportation routes

Here’s a variant of how you can show new transport routes and ways of transport in particular. The graphics set also contains transportation icons (truck, train, plane, ship, bus, lorry), production, distribution, and retail symbols for illustrating logistic routes on the Africa map.

What does the African Countries Maps set contain?

The collection consists of modern, flat symbols which are all presented as editable vector artwork so you can adjust them as needed, using standard PowerPoint tools.  And they remain razor sharp also if you resize them, unlike bitmap pictures. You can choose colors to correspond with your brand, the color scheme and the layout of your presentation, or create natural-looking icons with numerous colors.

• Maps of 54 African countries and world
