3D Weather Globe & Atlas
Beautiful graphics and coloring, very nice!
Written by TM from Studio City

This is a very nice product, It is a very accurate weather station for over 40,000 cities and you can go anywhere on earth that you want. The only downside is that you cant zoom in on cities like google earth, but the quality of graphics and coloring are incomparable!
The layout is like google earth, you have a globe and you drag it and so on. you just type a city in to the little window and hit Enter and "Boom" ( as Steve Jobs says a lot!) you got the current weather conditions and a forecast and it also goes as close as it can to the city. Another cool part is that if you are connected to the internet, it gives you live satellite imagery all over the world! I saw a tropical cyclone in Australia! Alother cool feature is that it comes with two wonderful screensavers that you are sure to use(if you use screensavers).
This is a very unique program, I recommend it to anyone, especially Earth Science enthusiasts! …More253 of 360 people found this useful

This product is TERRIBLE, don't waste your money like I did
Written by RM from New York
Dec 25, 2007
This software was a HUGE disappointment. I bought it for a friend of mine who is a huge weather nut and travel guru. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS PROGRAM THAT CANNOT BE FOUND ONLINE FOR FREE. I have read through every inch of the manual and this program was a HUGE WASTE OF MONEY and I am heartbroken that I gave such an awful gift to someone I care about. And what's worse, I can't even return it because we already installed it. Save your money and go to weather.com or google earth and get the same results. …More
