A closer look
What you can do with Geo Explorer
Geo Explorer is a browser-based globe that turns geography into something you fly around and interrogate — a different map for every question.
One globe, twenty-plus layers
Toggle a deep stack of overlays on the same interactive Earth and see how the world's systems line up.
- Borders, cities and physical geography
- Geology, time zones and climate layers
- UNESCO sites, airports and undersea cables
- Real-time day/night and night-lights
Click anywhere for the story
Select a country to pull up its facts, or zoom into the detail — the globe is a reference and an atlas at once.
- Click countries for facts and figures
- Searchable country library
- Smooth zoom from whole-Earth to street-level tiles
- Day-and-night terminator that tracks real time
