You first have to force it to work in XP. Compatibility mode. Then be prepared to be disappointed with the maps you see. Simple scans of old maps. Complete with creases and dog ears. No searches for places. A cheesy Win 95 app with little usefulness. Mired in a 640X480 view. Primitive panning and zoom. Bad all around.

I am a history teacher "to be" and thought that this would be a great resource for my classes. I feel that "National Geographic Maps: The War Series" is very interesting, but many of the maps are a little cluttered for my needs. They are packed with vauable information and will make a great educational tool, I was just wishing for something I could use to display the areas.
