Earth 3D, an educational global perspective for Windows 8

Earth 3D is an interactive, educational app in the Windows Store that delivers an interactive model of the earth. The map view highlights key landmarks, charts the weather, displays major water currents and can pull up a vast number of factoids on the world around us.

The Windows 8 title has been available for some time and it caught our eye being a featured app in the Store. After tinkering with Earth 3D over the past few days, it comes across as an entertaining way to learn a little about geography and global attractions.
