My daughter was so excited to order this for her birthday. We got it in and it did not work consistently, so no problem, we just contacted the vendor and they were very prompt in sending a replacement. Unfortunately the replacement was worse than the first globe. All of the readings were around 1/2" off, so when you touched Portugal it told you you were in Italy...not too good! Anyway I would like to note that even though the product was faulty...which I have never encountered previously from Leap Frog, the customer support at Wizard of Math was exceptional.

My children have owned this for several years and enjoy it as much today as they did when they got it. In typical Leapfrog fashion, they can learn and have fun at the same time. (So can Mom and Dad!!) Their favorite is the timed game where they have to find different locations (you can choose states, countries, continents, etc.) As a result of this "toy", my children are much better at geography than I am!
