Software Reviews of National Geographic Presents: 3D Globe
Customer Review: This Is Quite Good
Summary: 4 Stars
And it gets better as you become more adept at scrolling through the globe/map. For what it is - and be perfectly clear: it's just what it says it is: a 3D Globe - it allows for a considerable range of information. There's also text about countries and so forth; but the text is extremely limited in that it gives very little geographical data about the countries (such as highest and lowest points and average height). Also, the topography is not as good or as detailed as on a regular atlas (e.g.,it gives no indication of relative heights of mountain ranges). When using the software, it helps to also have an encyclopedia open so as to toggle back and forth to get the kind of detailed information that 3D Globe doesn't have. I'd have given this software only three stars except I have a feeling it's about as good as any other of its kind on the market (which, presumably, isn't a huge market anyway). All in all, it's worth the price.
