The World HD+ at Mac App Store analyse

THE PREMIER ATLAS - with RETINA VECTOR MAPS The World HD+ is unique in the app store because it includes both a great set of maps AND the largest world factbook. These enable it to answer questions which Atlases and factbooks cannot: Atlases show you where countries are located, but have very little information about them; factbooks tell you about each country, but their maps leave you guessing about where places are located. ________ FEATURES ________ BUILT-IN ATLAS-QUALITY MAPS ** Includes high-resolution Retina vector maps for ALL COUNTRIES built-in. These remain in focus at all magnifications so you can easily see even the smallest detail. These arent the CIA or Bing maps found in other atlases, they are used in printed atlases. INNOVATIVE FACT BOOK PANEL ** Presents each section of the fact book as tiles enabling you to quickly find what you need, while keeping the country map in view. HIGHLY ANIMATED INTERFACE ** Responds to your touches and gestures so you can quickly find the information you are looking for. CIA WORLD FACTBOOK ** This trusted source of current country information is built-in for every country, including sections on: introduction, geography, people, economy, communications, transportation, military, and transnational issues. WIKIPEDIA ** View the live, community-written Wikipedia content for each country, island, and remote region within the app. NO INTERNET CONNECTION is required ** Except for live Wikipedia content, all data and maps are built-in ________ HOW IT WORKS ________ The interface is animated and interactive. Touch a country on the world map and the Retina vector country map opens while the factbook slides onto the screen, each topic neatly organized as tiles along the edge of the map. Touch a factbook tile and it zooms out to reveal detailed information about that topic. Not sure where a country is located? Select it on the drop-down list and The World HD+ zooms in on it then opens the map and factbook. The zoomable world map is not just the fastest way to select a country it also enables you to visualize and understand entire regions. It is so intuitive and easy to explore that once you get started its hard to stop!
