Here's an idea - implementation just as satisfying

Sound:

It is possible to sound both to listen through the speakers of the globe Station (this you put the pen by means of the jack back in the world), as well as on the pen itself (without cable). The quality is satisfactory - at medium volume just so okay. But at a higher volume, the sound heard very "stale lernd" on. With us, the left speaker of the globe was unfortunately already fully broken.

Features:

With the pen, you can tap on the "keypad" of the globe following areas and receives the appropriate information:

TOUCH (subcategories: Continent, time, climate, name, area, knowing, capital, Highest point, history, government, population, geography, population, currency, national anthem) This function allows you the globe explore fully by first tapping the desired category, then the desired locations

COMPARE (population, area, currency, time, distance, flight time) For this you type to the desired function, then taps on the first desired location (eg Berlin) and then the second location (eg, New York). Promt obtains the flight time, the Entferung etc.

FIND (continents, countries, skin cities, towns, villages in Germany (this can be the bottom of the globe a drawer pull with a map of Germany), Geo-final) The above "search games" have the great disadvantage that to search for places always in be mentioned the same order. Is boring ...

KNOWLEDGE (Planet Earth, Amazing Facts, News) These mentioned categories can be updated over the Internet. But ATTENTION !!! This only applies for a year! After all the fun is extra !!!

In addition, can adjust the volume using the keypad of the globe with the help of the stylus (touch plus or minus)

UNFORTUNATELY - but really Unfortunately (the globe would otherwise hit) - there is a very big BUT:

The pen works on the pull-card and the included book (more information around the globe on culture, country, etc.) Although super fast, but not on the globe itself. Here you have some places between 5-15 times button until the pen responds. No matter how you hold the pen (vertical or slightly oblique) and no matter what the lighting conditions are - it simply NOT (or hardly)

So it makes unfortunately little fun and especially with the games (find) on time, you can forget the fun.

So we send the world back unfortunately and hope that something else does in the next 2-3 years in the market. Because this "disease" (that often does not respond to the pen) have probably all Smart Globes.

PS: The globe is very well packaged. Super for shipment, but I've never taken so long to get something out of its packaging.
