I'm looking for a Dashboard widget for Mac OS X that will help me get better at geography.
I've found the
Worldview Widget and the
countries widget, but neither is exactly right.
Ideally, the main interface would be a normal old colored map with country borders and country/capital names that I could zoom into/out of. It would be a bonus if I could switch between a map/satellite view a la Google Maps, but if I had to choose, I would prefer a plain old map.
The Worldview Widget is close, but it's really small, and you can't make it larger. It also doesn't have a non-Google-Earthy map; it's all satellite imagery. I do really like the extra info it gives, though.
The Countries widget is too simplistic.
It is key to me that it works in Dashboard.
