The Waypoint Geographic GeoClassic world globe is a fantastic small globe for displaying on a desktop or shelf in any room of the home, office or classroom. The clear map design makes this globe easy to read even with close to 1,000 points of interest and named locations. The up-to-date cartography makes this product both a great learning and reference tool. Waypoint Geographic is also known for it’s inclusion of ocean floor topography which is another feature not found on many globes. All efforts have been made to include this information, even with the smaller size. The weighted base makes it easy to rotate the globe without tipping over! Another feature is the MAP is MADE IN THE USA and is current, edited by our local cartographers for accuracy. Most globes are simply made from Asian maps and re-purposed, many used for decoration and typically do not reflect current changes in the world. Take this globe for a spin and learn more about the world we live in!
