World Atlas and Fact Book

The World is at your fingertips with this easy-to-use interactive world atlas and fact book. It’s ideal for doing homework or just for satisfying your curiosity about far-away places in the news.

This clear simple reference offers comprehensive maps of all Countries, Continents, Oceans, U.S. States, Canadian Provinces, and Territories. Browse more than 300 colorful, fully-updated digital maps that present the Earth’s geography in exquisite detail.

Maps are much higher quality than those in the current Top Paid Reference App, and show more than twice as many cities and places per map. Each map offers the ability to zoom in, while adding other features such as mountain ranges, rivers, deserts, waterways, and topography not found in lower-quality fact book maps.

Handy fact book pages show the current official flag for each place, and offer essential statistics including population, area, languages, literacy, life expectancy, industry, agriculture, natural resources and more.
