This product, subtitled "the real picture atlas," is the only microcomputer atlas to specialize in satellite photography. In addition to a vast collection of these remote sensor photographs, the atlas includes a zoomable topographical global relief map based on satellite data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Ad ministration, a zoomable world political map, a "Chronosphere" map displaying information about time and day/night shading, and a gray-scale United States relief map based on data from the United States Geological Survey. One may browse through the photographs through a gallery function or access them from the maps (red dots indicate their location).
