The Ocean Blue

To set out on a journey with only the stars as your guide takes a great deal of courage. Today we have GPS to pinpoint our exact location. We have charts of coastlines.

Through GALILEO, we have access to World Atlas (Encyclopaedia Britannica). We have a choice of views : map, satellite, and terrain. It's fairly easy to navigate in and out. To look at a particular state in the United States, you search for United States, then close in on the area and move around with the pan button and the zoom in/out tab on the left.
