Scope and description

Passengers of a ship traveling the oceans of the Earth may find themselves quite bored. At such times they may want to know more about their location and travel and about places they visited and are about to visit. They may also want to examine geographical components of the data they already have.

Multitouch Earth is a program that can provide entertainment and education related to geography and Earth. The following is a short sample list of tasks that may be performed within Multitouch Earth.
1.      Examine current ship location
