Touch
To learn about a country, use the tip of the SmartPen™ to touch one of the 'Touch' categories on the activity panel (located on the base), and then use the SmartPen™ to point to a place on the globe. To learn more about a particular country, use the SmartPen™ to touch a different category on the activity panel, and touch the country again.

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 SmartPen™ will 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 SmartGlobe™ Deluxe 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.
