>>CD-ROM REVIEW:          GLOBAL EXPLORER                Delorme Mapping 1994
>>
>>Recently I reviewed MAP'N'GO, Delorme Mapping's travel planning and 
>>highway routing package.  I also received their GLOBAL EXPLORER which 
>>provided me with another good reason to justify the cost of my CD drive.  
>>I managed to spend over five hours in one sitting playing with this 
>>fascinating global mapping program.
>>
>>GLOBAL EXPLORER offers indexed references to more than 140,000 places,
>>including seamless full color maps of the whole world showing detailed 
>>topographic detail, major highways, political boundaries, bodies of
>>water and street maps of 100 major cities.  There are fifteen levels of 
>>magnification which allows you to "zoom" in and out showing a whole-world 
>>view or close-up with incredible detail.  You can also "pan" the map to 
>>any other location easily and quickly with just the click of your mouse.  
>>
>>In addition to the mapping database, there is a gazetteer interface that
>>helps you explore the world, searching by country or category, providing
>>descriptions of 20,000 of the most interesting historical, cultural,
>>geographical and social aspects of the world.  You can call up descriptions
>>of over 100 different categories of features by selecting icons displayed 
>>on the maps.  Also included are informational profiles with up-to-date
>>information on the geographic, political, economic and demographic data
>>of any country that interests you.  
>>
>>The Streets interface was of particular interest - and the Street Find
>>feature.  Once you are in a city that has street data, and there are
>>100 major cities in this category, activate the Streets Find function and
>>type in a few letters of the street name - you will be shown a scrolling
>>list of streets with the letter combination you entered.  Select the
correct
>>street name and click on Locate.  That's all there is to it.  Also the
>>Airnet feature is neat - the database contains the world's commercial
>>scheduled airline routes and will display these between any two points
>>on earth, showing you (in black) a couple of different options.  The 
>>Itinerary box shows you departure location, destination and all 
>>intermediate airports.  If either the starting or ending point do not have 
>>a commercial airport the program will draw a line (in blue) to the nearest 
>>one and add the mileage to the itinerary.  Its truly amazing!
>>
>>GLOBAL EXPLORER comes with limited print capabilities which allow you to
>>copy the current detailed map to the Windows clipboard as a bitmap file 
>>which will include any air routes and Gazetteer symbols but not any of
>>the text descriptions.  Futhermore, the single-user license agreement
>>terms contain certain paper and tangible media copy limitations which
>>accord you the right to make map printouts only for personal and in-house
>>business or institutional purposes.  So if you plan to make use of
>>GLOBAL EXPLORER for any other use, better contact Delorme Mapping at
>>800-452-5931 directly and ask.  "Street" price is around $59.00.  Delorme
>>maintains a World Wide Web Home Page (www.delorme.com) which is fun to 
>>access and browse.
>>
>>System requirements are: 386 or higher computer, 4 MB RAM, 3 MB hard
>>disk space, DOS v4.01 or higher, MicroSoft Windows 3.1, CD-ROM drive,
>>VGA, and a mouse.  
>>
>>I found GLOBAL EXPLORER to be fun and very informative - a valuable
addition
>>to my personal library of "factual" CD-ROMs.  I can see myself referring
>>to it often.  It definitely belongs in every home and school library as
>>a primary reference tool.
