Compare

To compare information between two places, such as distances, flying times, and exchange rates, choose a category under ‘Compare,’ and then touch two countries on the globe one after the other. The SmartPenwill even let you compare places on the U.S. map with places on the main Globe.

Note: The time function will only be accurate once you have registered and updated the SmartPen; see pages 9 and 14 for instructions. Also, the exchange rates will be based on those automatically updated at the time of your last download.

Find

To play a search game, touch one of the ‘Find’ categories with your SmartPen. The SmartGlobeDeluxe Edition will tell you to find certain places on the map, and you must answer the questions as quickly as you can. Each activity has 3 different levels, and for each level the player must answer the required number of questions correctly. Players need to answer the questions within the time limit; the time limit varies depending on the age group the player has selected. The “Ultimate Challenge” game is a combination of questions from all the other categories.
