Review & Description

What is World Navigator (SE)? It's a Windows Vista / XP / 2000 program on CD-ROM that draws high fidelity three dimensional topographical, political, and bathymetric maps from any location and altitude above the earth's surface. You can view the entire globe, rotating it to any position you wish. You can zoom in and draw extremely detailed maps of any place in the world. User friendly navigation controls enable you to cruise around the world with ease and search our database of over 2.7 million place names. You'll see everything from the entire world down to tiny islands less than a mile across.

Why is it better than a conventional book atlas? Primarily because World Navigator allows you to quickly and easily navigate to any spot on the earth and then zoom in and draw maps with incredible details, details unavailable in a printed atlas. World Navigator has many other features found nowhere else, such as the ability to move the mouse cursor over a map and watch as the elevation of the land (in feet or meters above sea level) or the depth of the ocean under the cursor is continuously displayed on the screen. It offers the ability to measure the Great Circle distance (the shortest distance between two points on a sphere) between any two points on the earth's surface; and it even offers the ability to measure the distance along any squiggly line you can draw. Unlike any other print atlas or computer atlas, World Navigator allows you to pick and choose the features you wish to see on your map. And no more hunting through the index of names in the back of the atlas; you can now simply type in the name of the place for which you're looking and World Navigator will search its database of over 2.7 million place names and draw a map with your selected place name highlighted in the center.
