From School Library Journal
Like most CD-ROM atlases, Cartopedia is presented as a full-fledged world reference atlas. But, in fact, the depth of information in its maps is more what one would expect of a good children's atlas. Cartopedia indexes about 20,000 places, well below the minimumAabout 30,000Afor a good basic reference atlas. The maps are attractive, if not particularly detailed, and of the CD-ROM atlases, Cartopedia's interface is the easiest to use. The legibility of the maps and design of the interface make this a good choice for children up to grades three or four. Above that level, it could only be considered a browsing title, unsuitable for reference use.
