Good maybe for a student

Pros:
Love the idea of having a game like view to see the world.
You can view the world map offline.
You can spin this atlas like a ball and zoom in on buildings.
You can see clouds, boats and planes moving around the globe.

Cons:
There is no street view like Google Maps this is just a map with landmarks so you get what’s given.
There is no 5 day forecast for the weather so no looking ahead to see how the weather would be in the other part of the world or locally.
Most of the information when viewing buildings is hyper-linked to wikipedia so it’s misleading to say "no internet connection required (except for the weather)”

Good app but not anything like google maps or weather bug which I thought it had incorporated.
