Hello sir/ madam , would you be interested in an android app that lets you practice map drawing offline? It’d nicely compliment your studies. You can draw the rivers and mark cities on their banks, national parks, important wetlands, dams etc by them as you study ( There’s a blank India map in the app. Also there are 7 other blank maps). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAzyEGjODB4

Would love to know what do you think of this humble initiative.
Thanks & regards.
