Editorial Review: Product Description: National Geographic Presents 3D Globe lets explorers discover the intricacy of our planet, through multiple perspectives. This powerful 2-CD set harnesses virtual technology to link thousands of satellite photos, rendering them into a detailed 3D globe.

 Rating:  - So - SoI bought this software because I teach a class on Geography. National Geographic is well known for producing excellent maps, however with this product I was a bit disappointed. The drawbacks are many, and include not being able to zoom in very far to observe details, regions within countries are not named, nor is there a display option to show them, political maps do not show state, or any other internal political boundaries within countries.

It doesn't even zoom closer than a standard state highway map. So the globe rotates and shows night and day... and you can look up cities and countries. You can do that with an encyclopedia. By comparison, Encarta is a thrill ride IMHO. To me this software performs like something from the $1.00 CD clearance rack.

The navigation tools that are afforded to the user permit the user to acquire closeup views of national boundaries, regions, states, and cities within countries. Additionally, 3D Globe provides ...
