I had been looking for a user-friendly geography program,
and I was so pleased to discover the pointWorld/USA bundle. I love
the graphics and the world clocks. And I especially love the
different ways you can access the state/country information -
either by pointing at the map, scrolling through the list of
names, or even using my Zire joystick to scroll through the
entries. The screen layout is very efficient with lots of
interesting info packed into a small area, and it doesn't take up
too much memory. It's a wonderful educational program for the
price. |
