Are geographical features (mountains, etc) raised on this globe?

Hi, Bailey! This was a gift for my daughter - a 6th grade teacher - but, I asked her and she said that "they are." :-)

Yes, they are. My grandsons love this globe - they use it to look up places mentioned in the news, etc.

To the best of my knowledge the 3D Terrain refers to the modeled 3d building that might show up. I did not see anything to make me believe it has topographical information.

I believe topographical maps are available in a desperate package from Magellan for a fee. Check with them online for details and pricing.

The globe I received has the mountain ranges elevated as 'bumps' as you mentioned

Don't know... haven't tried that yet... usually I'm looking for GPS coordinates based on maps and general topography... a lot of times when your in between high ridges being able to read a map; thus long/lat comes into play.... because the GPS can't pick up a signal..... both are good skills to have.

States ? Of which country ? Odd question. There are other states/provinces in the world as well. If you mean the states in the US, then remember you are buying a globe - think globally now!

I think some of the color variation is the differences in topography and is the way it is supposed to be.

It appears to be current up through 2012 (the production date of the puzzle), but it does have Kosovo and South Sudan. This piece is GREAT as a puzzle and it does have quite a bit of geography, but it is only okay as a globe. The information is tight sometimes hard to distinguish.

USA, Canada and Mexico in theory, but the maps are not of good quality... I had myself some bad surprises even in big cities (New Jersey and New York city)

Yes. You'd fare well using spikes suitable to the terrain; the larger spikes are good for stability in rugged conditions.

Yes. There are TOPO maps wich are more for hiking and there are the road maps.

No, but it has many positions for landscape viewing, its real selling point, I believe...at least for me. Love it!

Apparently very little or nothing. I don't use the elevation feature much except when we travel through the mountains, but I haen't noticed that it makes much difference in any other response or feature. Its a good feature whe n towing a camper or driving an RV through large elevation changes like the Smokies or Rockies. If you don't do this often, ;eave it off.

I have this precisely working in TURKEY.. I don't think the GPS technology is based on continental boundaries :) It should globally be functional, whenever the sky is visible.

According to my brother,who checked the globe out today,South Sudan is on the globe.I believe it will show all entities including any updated or new ones.Hope this helps!

I believe that means mountainous areas and such are raised slightly to where you can feel them with your fingers and it's 3 dimensional sort of.

I doubt it, it had little to no details. Just green area and topo lines. So you cant find your way around because there were no trails shown but I hear that there are some trails in the major parks. I think that they have allot of work to do on that product before it can be widely useable, hope that helps, R.
