It's a Christmas gift so I haven't seen it operate yet but I am most amazed that I ordered it on black Friday morning & it was delivered Saturday afternoon. It looks great and well constructed and I know my grandson will love it.

Comments about Oregon Scientific The Special Edition SmartGlobe v3:
The new SmartGlobe v3 arrived on the date projected. The box was damaged and bent so we were anxious to open the box and check the contents. Luckily the globe was fine and not even scratched. The air bags saved it. I would recommend using heavier weighted, sturdy cardboard boxes for these expensive items. Grandma D

Comments about Oregon Scientific The Special Edition SmartGlobe v3:
Globe was the avorite Christmas gift, my 6 yeaar old granddaughter loves the games and now enjoys finding places she heres about on TV. Two friends that teach want it for the classroom and another wants it in her office. My ONLY suggestion would be to make it slightly larger for us old folks.(print is small) , but in real life I couldn't be happier it's worth twice the cost !!!!
