I am disappointed that in this iteration of the atlas you have continued to leave out reference points on the maps. For example, I have open the map of Paul's journey from Troas to Philippi. The only cities on the map are Troas, Neaopolis, and Philippi. That's a strange map indeed. I am glad to see the route pointed out, but why cannot we have other cities on the map at the same time? Berea, Thessalonica, Athens, Corinth, would certainly help us.
The Roman province of Macedonia is the only province that is labeled on the map. What province did Paul leave? What were the other provinces nearby? Doesn't this matter?
You've isolated the small story you are trying to tell me about from the whole rest of the world. That, in my mind, is not at all what an atlas is about. It is good to zoom in on a part of a story, but that shouldn't isolate me from the rest of the world.
Do you have plans to add a standard set of reference points? Will I ever be able to zoom out and see other reference points even those that are hundreds or even a thousand miles away? I want that.
I have not used Atlas for just this reason. I'll take a static map over this offering any day.
As I said, I'm disappointed this latest version did not go further in rectifying a long-standing criticism of this tool. I appreciate what you've added - routes and so forth, but believe what you have taken away is a fatal flaw in making this tool useful for me.
