Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my second Replogle globe. Replogle is the best! Their Pioneer World Globe has a little of everything (well almost). It shows major cities, raised relief mountains, ocean currents, color-coded countries and states, and legend. Like most of their globes, it also comes with a plastic time zone dial over the north pole, so you can sort of figure out what time it is in other parts of the world compared to others. My favorite feature which stands out among others is its gyroscopic apparatus, which enables you to tilt the earth upside down without lifting its base, so you can see Antarctica in its entirety. With other lower-priced globes, you have to lift the whole globe, and the base gets in the way, so you really cannot see Antarctica.
There are two things I dislike about this globe. It has no topographical information, but I suppose that is what the Atlantis World Globe is for. (I guess you cannot have everything.) Also, it scratches easily, so don't bang it around.
Another insignificant thing I notice is the placement of the political information. Because the globe is constructed with strips of cardboard (like orange peels), none of the city, state, or country names are printed across two strips. It does not take away from the quality of information; it's just quirky to look at. I am very detailed-oriented and pay attention to everything. Most of you probably will not even notice this.
