Review
Pros: Full-screen support, super graphic quality, quickly calculates distance between places around the world, great tool for learning geography.
Cons: Limited weather reporting, slightly difficult to get started using all of the features, no detailed country information, no airport database.
Platform: None -- Palm OS and Pocket PC have the same features.
Notes: Demo lets you use the program 14 times before you must register. There is also a Palm (PalmEarth) version of this program.
