Centennia Historical Atlas: DIY Last-minute Gift
It's already Christmas (or a birthday or some other gift-giving day), and it's too late to have a gift copy of the Centennia Historical Atlas delivered to your friend who loves maps and history, but it's the perfect gift. No worries. You can make your own copy on a USB flash drive (thumb drive) and make a nice ready-to-wrap gift box for it, too.
Things you’ll need:
A USB flash drive (any older low-capacity USB will do), a small gift box, packing material (bubble wrap), a color printer, and glue or tape.
Steps:
1: Download Windows or Mac version (or both):
2: Put file(s) on USB flash drive. You can use an old, low-capacity flash drive.
3: Buy a license code. Use code XM8 for a $15 discount:
4: Check your email for the 16-digit license code and print it.
5: Find a gift box. Any size will do. We suggest 8×6×1 inches (or 20×15×3 cm).
6: Wrap the USB flash drive in packing material and place it, along with the printed license code in the gift box.
7: Get cover art and print it:
8: Glue cover art on box. Seal the box.
9: Deliver your gift. Accept praise!

Hello, Clockwork Mapping. I use the MacOS version of your Cantennia Atlas, and I wonder if you plan to port it to iPad. I think it would be really *slick* on a tablet! Also, do you intend to expand it into the tenth century? My specialty is medieval France, and I would like to see more detail there. Just a wishlist! Thank you for this amazing atlas.
Yes, indeed. We are working on an iPad version. It's mostly a matter of funding. The new "Research Edition" of Centennia will, we hope, provide enough revenue to get the iOS version launched. As for the other item on your wishlist --more in medieval Europe-- it's certainly a possibility in the next year if we can get enough interest. Thanks for letting us know what interests you!

I have used Centennia in my classes in the past. I still have the software on my computer but it won't open, it says the developer of the app needs to update it for it to work with current version of MacOS. What do you suggest? Do I need to re-purchase the app?
Download the current version here. It's no extra charge if you have a full-access code purchased in the past seven years.

I have been using this program since 1999! I'd LOVE to see an iPad version as I teach 1:1 and have access to airplay. Thanks for keeping this program alive and available after all these years!
