More like the Wall Maps of the World and Globes of yesteryear
Earth 3D is a great addition to any mac where you need a motivator to keep a clean desktop so you can watch the earth revolve before your very eyes. I’ve learned so much more about the world’s geography with this app.
Graphics look like a Sid Meir Game Map. The city icons are cute, but I wish you could toggle specific ones on and off. Maybe allow folks to build city models you can download for your favorite hometown.
I ended up buying the weather pak $2.99 which was marginally helpful. It adds cloud and moon icons along with the current temp.
The political map pak purchase was great $1.99. It makes the world look like a wall map with brightly colored countries.
I didn’t go for the $3.99 photos and info pak because it would be easy to just use the web for this level of info.
I would love to see an option for a true view of the world as high res retina satellite imagery with real cloud cover and daylight/darkness added.
I was kind of hoping that this app would also show up in System Preferences > Desktops & Screensavers rather than being its own standalone app only thing.
