The World Atlas con- tains 240 detailed political and topographical maps, over 4,400 statistical maps, and 11 information categories with over 300 subtopics ; and the U.S. Atlas contains over 110 political and topographical maps (including county and major city maps), over i,ooo statistical maps, and 11 information categories with over 200 subtopics. Users may create new topics and add to the permanent database, add notes to any map, place map markers on any map to designate points of interest and scroll forwards and backwards through the last 50 maps used. The multimedia versions show flags, play anthems, pronounce and place names, and provide audio help.
