Georama

/dʒiːoʊˈrɑːmə/ noun

Definition

A panoramic representation or visualization of the Earth or a geographic region, often a detailed display or model showing landscape features.

Etymology

From geo- (earth) + -rama (suffix meaning view or display, from Greek horama). Created in modern times to describe immersive geographic visualizations and models.

Kelly Says

A georama is like Google Earth's artistic ancestor—before digital mapping, explorers and geographers created elaborate three-dimensional models of mountains and coastlines, and these physical georamas actually taught people to read maps for the first time.
