Download.com Review
of Earth Explorer:
 This
educational program brings a plethora of geographic information
right to your desktop. After you launch Earth Explorer, you'll
be greeted by a 3D rendition of the Earth spinning in space.
To the right of the globe sits a table of information on countries,
cities, and islands. Simply clicking on one of the entries
shows you its location on the globe, and scrolling over the
table gives you data, such as population, size, and capital.
You can zoom in or out on any area of the map, calculate distances
between two points, and change the globe's rotation. Earth
Explorer also can be configured to show different views, such
as those outlining rivers, major cities, and recent earthquakes.
Both students and world-curious folks will find this application
a fun, interactive way to learn.

geological-based software meant for people who have an interest
in learning more about world locations
"My knowledge of geography during school was very respectable.
The only place where I made the major blunder was pinpointing
the Black Sea in the African zone. Just got misplaced!!
Didn't mean to offend the Africans, just trying to prove
why I scored 2/10 in the map-location tests. Luckily, I
just stumbled upon this software, which should increase
my knowledge in this field. ..."
