Scanglobe Geographer added to the collection

GeographerAlso at Delorme’s headquarters, I picked up a Replogle "Geographer" globe primarily on the basis that it looked very cool and different from all the other globes I have.  It was also nice to see that it was actually from Scanglobe, even though that is now simply another brand under Replogle.  You could tell, though, that the integration of the companies isn’t all that complete.  The Geographer was inside a box with a dry-erase marker, a brief generic description of the features of your globe – and that was it.  No mention of why the dry erase marker was in there… or anything else about this particular globe.

Searching through Replogle’s web site, I was able to find out that this is a globe that you can mark up  and then erase.  Primary target seems to be for the educational market which makes sense.  Pretty neat globe, although it would be nice if they told you more about it in the box when you bought it.
