Geography (12)

This set of cards contains maps of most of the countries in Europe.

See the included readme.txt for installation instructions and notes on countries included and excluded.

Japanese prefectures (47), names in kanji, hiragana and English.

Installation:
Unzip to your .mnemosyne directory (C:\Documents and Settings\(my username)\.mnemosyne\), you should end up with \maps\Prefectures_of_Japan folder and there should be Japanese_prefectures.xml file inside that folder.

Now open your Mnemosyne and select File -> import -> XML and select the Japanese_prefectures.xml file inside that folder. I reset the learning data when I exported the package, but you might want to select the "Reset learning data on import" just in case.

The states (Länder) of Germany. Names are in German with English names in brackets.

NB: Names are in Dutch. Some of the provinces have different names in English:

• Noord-Holland is North Holland
• Zuid-Holland is South Holland
• Noord-Brabant is North Brabant
• Zeeland is Zealand

These maps only consider Metropolitan France and Corsica, i.e. they do not include Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, or Réunion.

Names are in French. Some of the French regions have different names in English:

• Bourgogne (Burgundy)
• Bretagne (Brittany)
• Basse-Normandie (Lower Normandy)
• Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy)
• Picardie (Picardy)

A full description of how to recreate the cards is distributed with svg to quiz. These images support a proposed feature of mnemosyne whereby the answer image replaces the question image rather than appearing below it. They are thus larger than they would be otherwise.

UPDATE: This set of cards has been fixed to take advantage of the Answer Overlay patch.

NEWER UPDATE: Due to an xml formatting error, one card (Australia) continued to show up in non-Answer Overlay format. I fixed the error and re-uploaded the set.

A collection of 67 countries, islands, and archipelagos. I've included virtually everything that might be considered a part of Asia or the Middle East, and went so far as to toss in Australia (since hey, it's just one item anyway).

Some less-obvious features:

- Japan is split up into its four major islands
- Arctic islands and archipelagos are included

--Important Notes--
-------------------

I tried to be fairly thorough with this set of cards and added a number of minor islands to the data set. If you do not want to memorize these extra items, just delete those cards as you come to them.

Cards for learning the countries of Africa.

* Most of the smaller island nations and territories are not included.
* Only one of the Sao Tome & Principe islands is highlighted due to
limitations in the svgtoquiz script.

The reason for posting these cards is that installing the software needed to run the script on Mac is frustrating and this will spare some work.
