Ever wanted to explore the globe all from the comfort of your computer chair? Well, then this is for all the couch potatoes out there like you and me who may not have the resources to actually go somewhere anytime soon. The 3D World Map Screensaver presents the earth in 3D with some factual information about specific countries it flies over as you pass by. It’s not only a screensaver, it’s and educational tool too.

One thing that it lacks is the ability to zoom in too much as Google Maps does but for a screensaver it works out fine. There is also the issue of the dismal soundtrack but you could used your own MP3’s for the background audio so that solves that part. Its good to learn a bit about the world while you gulp down that latte while waiting for your break to signal the end of your virtual tour of the world.
