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 smart pen 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 smart pen;
see pages 9 and 10 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 smart pen. The
SmartGlobe™ Star 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.
Note: Use the local map to answer the questions about local places.
This table shows the time limit of each game for each age group.
