Exerz 20cm World Globe Educational - Swivel Rotating Earth Globe - Political Map English - Diameter 20cm (Engish)

I purchased this 20cm globe as an educational toy for my grandson and, in that role, it is absolutely excellent. The colours are vibrant, the countries are clearly labelled, and it seems sturdy enough to survive enthusiastic handling by curious youngsters. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of assuming that a globe depicting the entire Earth might also be suitable as a primary navigation aid for a solo round-the-world sailing expedition. Within a week of departing Southampton, I discovered that plotting a transoceanic route on a sphere roughly the size of a large grapefruit presents certain practical limitations. Coastlines proved difficult to follow, ocean currents were not particularly detailed, and the lack of GPS integration became increasingly apparent as Spain appeared unexpectedly on my horizon. The voyage ultimately concluded with an intervention by the Spanish coast guard, who gently explained that modern maritime navigation has now advanced somewhat. To be fair, nowhere in the product description did it explicitly state "suitable for solo ocean navigation," so I cannot entirely blame the manufacturer. As a children's educational globe: 5 stars. As a replacement for nautical charts, satellite navigation, and centuries of maritime expertise: 1 star.

It is a great globe all young children would love to play with it and explore the world.

Seems fine. Just the right size to fit onto child's desk and give them a good idea of the position of countries of the world, earth rotation, etc. Reasonable price. It come in two halves which clip together.

Great

Hi. A beautiful globe for my 66 year old grandson who loves it. However I found it very difficult to assemble. I took Ages. Everything obviously has to fit Exactly tight. I would have liked to have been an octopus to put it together more easily. Never take it apart. But. It works as it should and should last for years. Good buy.patience in

The globe was bought for my son who loves geography and space so this was perfect as it showed earth and the constellations and could triple as a night light for him except that the globe actually doesn’t show the constellations as the advertisement claims. A little disappointed that it doesn’t show the constellations and just animals instead but my son likes it and it’s sturdy and lights up well. It’s a bit on the small side but that’s okay if you’re planning on having it on a bedside table. Globe is sturdy and easy to put together and fit lights. You do have to supply 2 batteries for the globe however as it doesn’t come with any. Was bought on Black Friday deal so I can’t be too disappointed.

Reasonably priced, arrived on time. This globe is just the right size for a desk in a kids bedroom - not too big but not too small either. It is easy to read for my 8 year old and we have spent ages together looking for cities and countries and how they relate to each other on the globe. We have used it to map out what routes we think the plane will fly when we are planning holidays. It is plastic and may seem a little flimsy but it has been dropped on the floor a couple of times and spun at great speed - for scientific purposes of course - and it has withstood this rough handling very well. I would recommend this globe.

My grandaughter loved it, a little flimsy , but ok

Nice gift for my son he's happy and yes later he still uses him

Immer gut informiert. Und der Globus leuchtet in der Dunkelheit diskret.
