Does this globe have the raised topography?

yes it does, however, it's just approximate, it's pretty well done and feels great at touch!

Yes, just enough for slight definition. Bought this for 11 yr. granddaughter for science project relating to sun's projection on the earth as it rotates with seasonal changes. Was perfect for this project. It's a step above a basic globe.

The raised areas represent mountains, it's not supposed to be smooth. I'm sure you could return it and get a smooth version of a globe.

No, it does seem to have a slightly smaller close up field of view though. After about 3-4 feet it seems to be about normal.

Simple answer: No. You'll need to buy separately detailed topo maps. I use the Southeast US one, for example.

No, the raised edge is only present on the left and right edges...the keys have a very nice "feel" and I think overall it's a great functional design. Sorry, don't know how it compares to the Logitech or any other choice.

I gave the globe as a gift and so I cannot answer your question. I have not seen it in a year.

I'm not sure as it is not currently together. It's a good size but not as large as a traditional globe. Hope that helps!

Yes. There is a path near my house that's shown. It is also very good with altitude. This past fall I climbed the two highest peaks in CONUS (Mt Whitney and Elbert). Mt Whitney is officially 14,505 and I checked the pic I took and my GPS had it at 14,506.

I am not sure which raised base you mean but if it helps, I purchased the unit exactly as it comes (shown in picture) and find it to be a very comfortable seating height. I am 5'9 and it feels only slightly lower than a regular toilet.

yes but I would say it is minimal. Could be so it is raised off a surface a little higher. But there is a lip yes

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.

There are some low ridges in it, but other than that it is flat. You can see them if you zoom in on the product image.

Yes it has ridges. Its has many small strips of wood with semi rounded edges put together to form the top surface area of the tray.

Hi Jen...I bought these over 2 years ago but if I remember they are more flat. Only raised up a little.

Yes, it is shown just like in any other globe. It's shown in yellow (don't know why not white).

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.

no it doesn't. I forget what the manual says, but I'm guessing the high is around 300d
