The Interactive Globe And Atlas

Not only is this the world¿s most intelligent talking globe, but it also makes geography fun for an entire family, as they discover the answers to such questions as "How far is it from Sao Paulo to Lima?" "What type of music is native to Finland?" "How large is the Isle of Man?" and "What currency is tendered in Hungary?" Thousands of geographical and socio-political facts about the world come to life when you touch the globe with the interactive stylus, including names of continents, countries, capitals, and oceans, as well as types of currencies, music, the different time zones, and more. Special functions allow users to measure distances between points, compare facts about different countries, states and provinces--and it teaches U.S. and metric measurement systems. There are also interactive games in three skill levels, for up to four players, to challenge players' ability to find locations on the globe.
